FRANK lead system is usually adopted when PC ECG is used to produce VCG. The conventional
letter designations for the electrodes and their respective positions are:
E/C2: at the front midline
M/C5: at the back midline
I/C1: at the right mid-axillary line
A/C4: at the left mid-axillary line
C/C3: at 45º angle between the front midline and the left mid-axillary line
F: on the left leg

The first five electrodes (E, M, I, A and C) are all located at the same transverse level --
approximately at the interspace between the fourth rib and the fifth rib.
