Abstract
In general, aspects of this disclosure describe example techniques which may be used to identify lead migration or estimate dissemination of electrical stimulation therapy through tissue of a patient. For example, an image processing device may receive a selection of a segment in a first image of patient implanted with one or more leads. The image processing device may reconstruct the selected segment in the first image with a corresponding segment in a second image. With the reconstructed segment, a user or the image processing device may be able to identify lead migration or estimate dissemination of electrical stimulation therapy through tissue of the patient.
