1. A method for performing an electrophysiological procedure, comprising the steps of:

  • placing a subject in a main magnetic field;

    introducing an MR-compatible electrode catheter;

    acquiring a magnetic resonance signal;

    using magnetic resonance imaging to determine the location of said MR-compatible electrode catheter; and

    , using said MR-compatible electrode catheter to acquire electrical signals indicative of an electrophysiological state.
