1. A method performed using a mobile device with a medical imaging system and a programming system, wherein the medical imaging system is configured to display a medical image and the programming system is configured to implement a program used in programming a neuromodulation device, the method performed using the mobile device comprising:
taking a picture of the displayed medical image from the medical imaging system using a camera from the mobile device, wherein the displayed medical image includes a representation of anatomy and a representation of at least one electrode;
annotating the picture to provide an annotated image;
determining location data based on the annotated image indicative of a position of the at least one electrode relative to at least one of the anatomy or at least another electrode; and
providing to the programming system location data for use by the programming system to program the neuromodulation device.
