1. A method comprising:
generating a three-dimensional (3D) model of a portion of the subject's body;
determining, based on the 3D model and a plurality of simulated electrical field distributions, a plurality of transducer array layout maps, each transducer array layout map comprising:
a first pair of positions for placement of a first transducer array and a second transducer array; and
a second pair of positions for placement of a first transducer array and a second transducer array;
receiving a selection of a first transducer array layout map and a second transducer array layout map of the plurality of transducer array layout maps;
determining, based on the first transducer array layout map and the second transducer array layout map, an overlap condition between the first and second array layout maps, wherein the overlap condition indicates that one or both of the first and second pairs of positions of the first transducer array layout map are at the same position indicated on the 3D model as one or both of the first and second pairs of positions of the second transducer array layout map; and
causing display of the overlap condition.
