Zusammenfassung:The invention provides a magnetic resonance probe (2), which includes a fiber optic sensor probe (32) and a sheath (38). The fiber optic sensor probe (32) includes a non-ferrous sensor (42) on a distal portion (36) configured for insertion into a subject, a locking element (34) connected to the distal portion (36), and a proximal portion (44) connected to the locking element (34) and in light communication via an optical fiber (48) with the non-ferrous sensor (42) and includes a connector (46). The sheath (38) covers the distal portion (36) of the fiber optic sensor probe (32), engages the locking element (34), and provides a sterile outer surface (70).
