In this work, we present a technique for MR gated imaging of a scaled model of the vocal folds vibrating in the 13-17 Hz frequency range. The vocal fold model was scaled to roughly 4X human size to decrease the frequency of vibration and make gating feasible. The model contained an embedded grid of markers such that biomechanical motion of the laryngeal model could be accurate tracked across multiple phases of the periodic vibrational cycle.
