Abstract:
1. System for positioning electrodes on a body of a patient, the system comprising: a bio-impedance electode; an image capturing system for generating an actual image of the patient body; a memory device for storing a reference image, the reference image comprising a reference body and a reference position on the reference body; a processing system for comparing the actual image and the reference image and for determining a position of the bio-impedance electrode on the patient body in the actual image, based on the comparison, by matching the reference position in the reference image to a corresponding position on the patient body in the actual image; and an indicator system for indicating the bio-impedance electrode position on the patient body based on the determined bio-impedance electrode position in the actual image, wherein the indicator system comprises a radiation pointer system for projecting an indicator projection image on the bio-impedance electrode position on the patient body.
