An MR-endoscope system has been suggested to make an endoscopy precise by performing an MR imaging with an intraluminal RF coil and showing MR images and a scope view. It is not easy to decide proper imaging position quickly by intraluminal RF coil because of invisible coil location inside body. The way to find the proper imaging location by using a tracking system with the scope was established. The location was properly detected in about 40 seconds by calculating a centroid coordinate on the coil plane without general localization procedure. This function would be helpful in a clinical usage.
