Pharyngeal airway mechanics during muscle stimulation by tagged magnetic resonance imaging

A novel application of MRI tissue tagging was used to track tissue motion in the pharyngeal walls due to contraction of tongue protrudor muscles that dilate the airway. Airway enlargement in the antero-posterior and lateral dimensions was associated with ventrally directed displacement of the lateral and ventral pharyngeal walls. The results reveal complex relationships between changes in airway size and pharyngeal wall tissue motion
