Feasibility of tagged MRI at 0.55 T
Abstract Purpose To determine the feasibility of tagged MRI at 0.55 T and tag persistence for cardiac and speech production applications. This is particularly challenging due to the short muscle T1 at 0.55 T (701 ms) and requires advanced techniques for maximizing initial tag contrast and signal‐to‐noise ratio (SNR)–efficient imaging.

Extending real‐time MRI of the oral cavity using simultaneous multislice and compressed sensing
Abstract Purpose To demonstrate a real‐time MRI (rtMRI) sequence that can image multiple slices simultaneously and apply them to image the dynamics of the oral cavity. Specifically, we demonstrate the imaging of tongue movement, speech, and swallowing. Methods We developed a radial rtMRI sequence with multiband excitation.
