Abstract
A method of calibrating field location tracking to magnetic resonance tracking is provided. The method of calibration field location tracking includes moving a medical device throughout a plurality of points within a patient volume; tracking the medical device with a field location tracking system and a magnetic resonance tracking system; calculating a plurality of magnetic resonance tracking locations; determining a plurality of field location parameters that correspond to the plurality of magnetic resonance tracking locations; and creating a transfer function that maps the field location parameters to the magnetic resonance tracking locations, wherein the transfer function registers a field location coordinate system to a magnetic resonance coordinate system.
