Patent ID: 8660635

Claim:
A method of performing a procedure on an anatomy of a patient, comprising: selecting a position for the procedure within the anatomy; proposing a first therapy; obtaining a first data set including image data and functional data regarding the anatomy and registering the obtained image data to the anatomy at least by: identifying a specific functional feature of selected anatomical portions within the anatomy, and determining a location of the specific functional feature in the obtained image data at least by determining a position of a navigated functional sensing device, which is configured to sense the functional data regarding the specific functional feature within the anatomy and is associated with a tracking system including a localizer and a tracking device, based upon a tracked location of the tracking device; planning the procedure at least in part with the obtained first data set regarding the anatomy; navigating an instrument that is a deep brain stimulation lead to the selected position; superimposing a first predicted physiological affect icon on an image of the anatomy based on the obtained image data to illustrate a graphical representation of a predicted first localized affect on the anatomy of the patient of the first therapy as the first therapy is performed; and performing the first therapy on the anatomy at the selected position with the navigated instrument wherein the first therapy includes effecting the physiology of the anatomy.
