1. A computer implemented method to adjust emissions of a medical electrode, comprising:
acquiring patient image data and atlas data;
determining, based on the patient image data and the atlas data, target structure position data describing a position of a target anatomical structure in a medical image of an anatomical body part of a patient;
acquiring electrode position data describing a position of the medical electrode;
acquiring electric field data describing an electric field around the position of the medical electrode;
determining, based on the patient image data and the atlas data and the electrode position data and the electric field data, target coverage data describing a coverage of the target anatomical structure by the electric field; and
determining, based on the patient image data and the atlas data, body part transformation data describing a positional transformation between the medical image of the anatomical body part and a model of the anatomical body part, wherein the target coverage data is determined further based on the body part transformation data,
wherein the target coverage data is determined for use in covering the target anatomical structure by the electric field of the medical electrode, and adjusting an emission configuration of the medical electrode with an electrode configuring device.
