This paper presents an ultra fast implementation of Turbo Spin Echo (TSE) to achieve continuous monitoring of the vocal tract with an actual time resolution of 4 images per second. We present preliminary results of two experiments involving coarticulation and articulatory compensations. articulations involved in speech production i.e. lips, tongue, larynx, lower jaw and velum.
