An MR compatible steerable sheath is provided. The MR compatible steerable sheath includes a steerable shaft that receives first and second longitudinal movement wires at a distal end thereof and audible or tactile means for indicating to a user the degree of deflection of the distal tip of the steerable shaft. A control handle is coupled to a proximal end of the first and second longitudinal movement wires and causes longitudinal movement of the wires.
