1. A resonator system, comprising:

  • a resonator device with an LC resonator circuit, including;

    an adjustable capacitance;

    an inductor coil in series with the adjustable capacitance; and

    a processor coupled to the adjustable capacitance, wherein;

    the processor can determine a resonant capacitance based at least in part on one or more signals transmitted by at least one sensor, wherein the at least one sensor includes a magnetic flux sensor; and

    the processor can adjust the adjustable capacitance to the resonant capacitance subsequent to determining the resonant capacitance; and

    a device deliverable into a body, wherein at least a portion of the device forms at least a portion of the inductor coil.
