Basic acquisition parameters:
8 frames per second
10mm slice thickness
T1- weighted fast gradient echo sequence with sensitivity encoding (" SENSE"; TR= 4ms, TE= 1. 1ms)
Two QuickTime movies with synchronized audio and sonagram (with rudimentary suppression of machine noise) can be downloaded by clicking on the words below (each film is about 4mB):
