ABSTRACT:
An MRI system operates in a realtime mode to produce images rapidly for a physician performing a medical procedure. The location of the medical instrument used in the procedure is monitored by a locator system which produces an icon on the images to show where the instrument is positioned. Reference phantoms are used by the physician to confirm that the system is properly calibrated to accurately display the instrument location.
