摘要:
An active tracking system that overcomes the heating problems of conventional transmission line and signal line conductors is provided. The active tracking system includes at least one active tracking coil at least one integrated circuit proximate the active tracking coil a tracking receiver a first MR safe means configured for transmitting a received signal to the tracking receiver and a second MR safe means configured for communicating one or more signals from the tracking receiver to the integrated circuit at coil. The integrated circuit may also include frequency estimations, analog to digital conversion at the tracking coil location to reduce the amount of processing required in the tracking receiver thereby decreasing the potential for signals passing from the tracking coil location to the tracking receiver to interfere with MR imaging signals.
