1. A method for electrode placement, comprising:
- acquiring an image of a body of a patient, such that the image captures a patch that has been placed on the body;
calculating, based on the acquired image and the patch appearing therein, one or more preferred locations on the body for placing one or more respective electrodes to be used in carrying out a procedure in an internal organ of the patient by calculating a first forbidden zone having a first size for a first type of electrode of the one or more respective electrodes, and a second forbidden zone having a second size, different from the first size, for a second type of electrode of the one or more respective electrodes that is different from the first type; and
outputting the preferred locations to an operator.

9. A medical apparatus, comprising:
-
a camera, which is configured to acquire an image of a body of a patient, such that the image captures a patch that has been placed on the body; and a processor, which is configured to; determine, based on the acquired image and the patch appearing therein, one or more preferred locations on the body for placing one or more respective electrodes to be used in carrying out a procedure in an internal organ of the patient by calculating a first forbidden zone having a first size for a first type of electrode of the one or more respective electrodes, and a second forbidden zone having a second size, different from the first size, for a second type of electrode of the one or more respective electrodes that is different from the first type; and output the preferred locations to an operator. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15)
