Real-time tracking and navigation is important for effective use of surgical robotic devices with multiple degrees-of-freedom, and especially ones that have multiple end effector functions including cauterization. The goal of this study is to develop a real-time MRI system for tracking and visualizing the interventional device using a passive magnetic sensor and a closed-loop control algorithm. Its technical feasibility is demonstrated on a phantom.
