We propose an ultra fast dynamic 3 T MRI scheme for imaging the vocal tract dynamics during speech production. Our approach synergistically exploits efficiency of variable density spirals for motion robustness, artifact suppression, and a sparse SENSE based temporal constrained reconstruction scheme. We realize time resolution of upto 6.2 ms/frame and a spatial resolution of 2.4x2.4 mm2. We demonstrate the utility of this scheme in capturing rapidly varying articulators during fast speech stimuli.
