1. A magnetic resonance (MR) method for determining the position of at least one microcoil which is provided in or on an object to be examined which is situated in an examination zone, the method comprising: scanning k-space at known scanning points in k-space by generating at least one variable magnetic gradient field acting on the examination zone, measuring values of microcoil MR signals at at least three of the known scanning points in k-space, and determining position values of the microcoil directly and without Fourier transformation from at least three measured values of the microcoil MR signal and from the k-values of the associated known scanning points in k-space.
