MR method and MR device for implementing the method
 A MR method determines nuclear magnetic resonance distribution in an examination area and the position of at least one microcoil which is located in the examination area in or on an examination object. In the presence of a homogeneous stationary magnetic field acting on the examination area, sequences are carried out in which at least one high-frequency pulse acting on the examination area is generated, and after the high-frequency pulse an MR signal induced in the microcoil is detected under the influence of a gradient magnetic field that acts on the examination area. Then the position of the microcoil in the gradient direction defined by the gradient field is derived from the detected MR signal. The aforementioned sequences are repeated for another gradient direction, and MR signals are detected by a further receiving coil arrangement to determine the nuclear distribution. Without additional measuring sequences, a position is detected in a manner that the sequences are continuously repeated while the gradient direction is varied, and that the position of the microcoil and the nuclear magnetic distribution are derived from MR signals detected simultaneously by the microcoil and the receiving coil arrangement.
