Real time MRI (rtMRI) in human speech is an active field of research, with a particular clinical focus on the assessment of speech disorders. In this work, a numerical phantom is developed to allow acquisition and reconstructions schemes for rtMRI to be compared to a ‘gold standard’. Previously acquired 2D rtMRI images of speech were used to create anatomical masks of various speech organs. An interpolation method was then used to create a continuous time model of the moving structures, which forms the dynamic phantom. The model is then tested using different k-space sampling schemes (Cartesian, radial and spiral).
