Single slice RT-imaging of a preoperative tongue cancer patient at 12ms/frame: The patient's ability to produce consonant and vowel sounds was studied. Speech stimuli of several short words with the consonant sounds interleaved with vowel sounds as consonant-vowel-consonant was used. Region of interest averaged time course profiles at the airway between lips (ROI 1), tongue tip (ROI 2), and airway between back of velum and pharyngeal wall (ROI 3) are shown at the native time resolution of 12 ms. Note the high time resolution depicts the formation of all the sounds with excellent fidelity, and correlates well with the simultaneously acquired audio signal.
