Magnetic resonance system with multiple independent tracking coils

A magnetic resonance system for therapeutically treating a patient, comprising:

• at least two medical devices adapted to be inserted into a patient, each having at least three magnetic resonance tracking coils;
• a magnetic resonance system having a number of receivers equal to or greater than the total number of coils, a tracking system coupled with each of the receivers to independently track the three-dimensional positions of all of the coils at a rate of at least about 5 positions per second;
• a display depicting a magnetic resonance image defining a scan plane and superimposing the position of each coil in the scan plane onto a corresponding position on the magnetic resonance image;
• the display also depicting a visible indicator connecting adjacent coils on each of the medical devices.
