Abstract
An instrument, a magnetic resonance tomography system and a method for detecting a relative position of the instrument in relation to the magnetic resonance tomography system. An encoded locator signal in a frequency range of the magnetic resonance tomography system is emitted by a transponder on the instrument, received by a plurality of sensors disposed on the magnetic resonance tomography system and a relative position of the transponder in relation to the sensors is determined by the locator signal detected by the sensors.
