However, morphologic and dynamic studies of the vocal tracts during speech have been gaining greater attention, mainly because of the rapid technical advances being made with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and image analysis and processing techniques. OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS AND METHODS: Our aim was to describe the morphologic differences in the vocal tract resonance cavities among voice professionals using MRI, and with the three-dimensional models built from the MRI data, compare the volumes calculated for the whole vocal tract and its major resonance cavities.
