1. A medical probe comprising:
an elongated member having an external lateral surface;
a first ring electrode mounted to the external lateral surface of the elongated member, such that a longitudinal axis extending perpendicularly through an aperture of the first ring electrode is substantially perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the elongated member; and
a second ring electrode mounted to the external lateral surface of the elongated member in a concentric relationship with the first ring electrode, the second ring electrode being electrically insulated from the first ring electrode.
