1. A system which combines electromagnetic position and orientation tracking with a magnetic resonance scanner, the system comprising:

  • a magnetic resonance scanner obtaining a plurality of nuclear magnetic resonance signals of a target sample;

    an electromagnetic location tracking device for determining the location of the target sample while a nuclear magnetic resonance signal is obtained; and

    a processor for building an image of the target sample using the location of the target sample for each nuclear magnetic resonance signal to combine the nuclear magnetic resonance signals.
