1. A system comprising:

  • a magnetic resonance scanner; and

    a processor coupled to the scanner and configured to generate magnetic resonance (MR) image data, the MR image data including complex data having a first component and a second component for a subject, the processor configured to generate a first image using the first component and generate a second image using the second component, the MR image data acquired in a time-share mode and substantially simultaneous with excitation, the excitation including a short T2 sensitive sequence provided by the scanner, and wherein the first image corresponds to anatomy of the subject and the second image corresponds to a magnetic material within the subject, the first image different from the second image, and the processor configured to identify a position of the magnetic material within the subject based on the second image.
