The influence of gravity on respiratory kinematics during phonation measured by dynamic magnetic resonance imaging

Abstract Respiratory kinematics are important for the regulation of voice production. Dynamic MRI is an excellent tool to study respiratory motion providing high-resolution cross-sectional images. Unfortunately, in clinical MRI systems images can only be acquired in a horizontal subject position, wh...

description Abstract Respiratory kinematics are important for the regulation of voice production.
