Abstract
Systems and Methods for determining a position of an object introduced into a body. An RF pilot tone is generated and is radiated into the body. Response signals modulated by the radiating into the body are received by a plurality of MRI receiver coils arranged spatially distributed outside the body and are converted into respective measurement signals. From the measurement signals, the position of the object is determined.
