An interventional system employing an interventional tool (20) having a tracking point, and an imaging system (30) operable for generating at least one image of at least a portion of the interventional tool (20) relative to an anatomical region of a body. The system further employs a tracking system (40) operable for tracking any movements of the interventional tool (20) and the imaging system (30) within a spatial reference frame relative to the anatomical region of the body, wherein the tracking system (40) is calibrated to the interventional tool (20) and the imaging system (30) and a tracking quality monitor (52) operable for monitoring a tracking quality of the tracking system (40) as a function of a calibrated location error for each image between a calibrated tracking location of the tracking point within the spatial reference frame and an image coordinate location of the tracking point in the image.
