Claim:
1. In a medical apparatus including a medical imaging system and a medical position and navigation system (MPS), the medical imaging system including an imaging transmitter periodically emitting imaging radiation and a separate imaging detector having at least an imaging radiation acquisition mode of operation and a sampling mode of operation, the MPS including at least one MPS transmitter periodically transmitting MPS radiation and at least one MPS detector, with one of the at least one MPS transmitter and the at least one MPS detector being positionable within a body, said MPS radiation electromagnetically interfering with at least one of said modes of operation of said imaging detector, a device for eliminating interference to the imaging detector caused by positioning radiation, the device comprising: a synchronizer configured to be coupled with said medical imaging system and with said MPS, wherein said synchronizer is configured to synchronize said imaging detector and said at least one MPS transmitter, so that said at least one MPS transmitter does not transmit during said at least one of said modes of operation of said imaging detector, wherein said at least one of said modes of operation of said imaging detector is said imaging radiation acquisition mode.
