Abstract
Example systems, apparatus, circuits, and so on described herein concern intervention-independent scan plane control for an MRI system. A tracking device capable of being manipulated independently of an interventional device in use to treat a patient transmits position signals describing an orientation of the tracking device to an MRI system. The MRI system determines a desired scan plan that will correspond to the orientation of the tracking device and performs a diagnostic scan on the desired scan plan.
