Claim Text:
1. An external control system for use with a neurostimulation device and at least one neurostimulation lead implanted within the tissue of a patient, comprising: a user interface configured for receiving input from a user; output circuitry configured for communicating with the neurostimulation device; and control/processing circuitry configured for receiving a medical image of the at least one neurostimulation lead relative to an anatomical structure, processing the medical image to detect the location of the at least one neurostimulation lead relative to the anatomical structure, generating a set of stimulation parameters based on the user input and the detected location of the at least one neurostimulation lead relative to the anatomical structure, and directing the output circuitry to transmit instructions to the neurostimulation device to convey electrical stimulation energy in accordance with the stimulation parameter set.
