Dynamic MRI can provide a valuable tool to quantitatively assess changes in oropharyngeal dynamics during speech. In this work we present 5-slice dynamic speech imaging at a frame rate of 20 fps with 2.2 mm 2.2 mm 8.0 mm spatial resolution. It was successfully performed by incorporating parallel imaging methods, a composite spiral / Cartesian sampling strategy, and a reconstruction scheme exploiting the partial separability and the spatial-spectral sparsity of the speech image sequence. Changing tongue shape is observed over a speech sample in volunteer subjects.
