Accuracy of acoustic rhinometry measurements.
OBJECTIVES To identify the factors that influence the accuracy of acoustic rhinometry measurements recorded with commercially available equipment. STUDY DESIGN A simple model was used which consisted of a metal pipe and cylindrical inserts. These inserts comprised various lengths, and aperture dimensions were comparable to, or smaller than, the nasal valve areas of both adults and children. ...
متن کاملAssessment of septoplasty effectiveness using acoustic rhinometry and rhinomanometry
Introduction: Septal deviation is the chief cause of chronic nasal obstruction. In order to treat such cases, nasal septoplasty surgery is usually performed based on patient complaints and a surgeon's examination, both of which are subjective. This study aims at using the objective parameters of acoustic rhinometry and rhinomanometry to evaluate the effectiveness of septoplasty surgery. Ma...
متن کاملModelling the reproducibility of acoustic rhinometry.
This paper presents an application of a linear model with correlated errors to the assessment of the precision of acoustic rhinometry in clinical medicine. The design of the reproducibility study involved 20 healthy subjects measured by five investigators with three replicate measurements of four variates taken from the right and left nasal cavities, altogether 2400 measurements. The parametric...
متن کاملAdult nasal volumes assessed by acoustic rhinometry.
UNLABELLED Acoustic rhinometry allows an objective and non-invasive assessment of nasal geometry. AIM The present study aimed at determining the volumes of specific segments of the nasal cavity in healthy adults including the nasopharynx, using acoustic rhinometry. STUDY DESIGN A clinical prospective analysis. CASES AND METHOD Thirty volunteers with no evidence of nasal obstruction, aged ...
متن کامل[Evaluation of the effects of nasal decongestants with acoustic rhinometry].
Acoustic rhinometry is a new method of evaluating the geometrical distributions of the cross-section and volume of the nasal cavity. Its characteristics are that of a nontraumatic procedure requiring minimal time for measurements. Eight males (27-39 years old) without nasal lesions were investigated with acoustic rhinometry before and after unilateral administrations of decongestants. Conventio...
