Acoustic rhinometry in the practice of allergy
Annals of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology, 2006To provide a comprehensive practical overview of the use of acoustic rhinometry in the practice of allergy.An all-inclusive PubMed search was conducted for articles on acoustic rhinometry that were published in peer-reviewed journals, between 1989 and 2006, using the keywords acoustic rhinometry, allergic rhinitis, and nasal provocation testing.The ...

Clinical applications of acoustic rhinometry
Current Opinion in Otolaryngology & Head and Neck Surgery, 2002Since its introduction to clinical diagnostic purposes in 1987, acoustic rhinometry has become a valuable tool for assessment of nasal function, for both clinical and research purposes. In this article, the authors review the recent literature regarding clinical applications of acoustic rhinometry.

Acoustic Rhinometry of the Oriental Nose
American Journal of Rhinology, 1999Most studies have established normal values for acoustic rhinometric (AR) analysis of the nasal passage based on a primarily Caucasian or mixed population. Because consistent anatomic differences do occur in anthropomorphic measurements of the nose of different races, AR analysis was performed on an Asian population to determine whether differences ...

Posture and Nasal Patency: Evaluation by Acoustic Rhinometry
Acta Oto-Laryngologica, 1994Nasal passage geometry was measured by acoustic rhinometry in 8 healthy medical students (5 males and 3 females, 21-29 years old; mean age 24 years) after 6 min in different postures of head and body. The minimum cross-sectional area (A-min) and volume between the nostril and 7 cm posteriorly were measured on both sides.

Value of acoustic rhinometry in environmental medicine
International Journal of Hygiene and Environmental Health, 2000It is a weak point of environmental medicine that health disturbances, e.g. functional affections of the upper respiratory tract, cannot be objectively judged by physicians resp. researchers. In this study, the validity of acoustic rhinometry, a method giving information on cross-sectional areas of the upper airways by means of ultrasound probing, was ...

Accuracy of acoustic rhinometry.
Rhinology, 2001The objective of this study was to evaluate the ability of acoustic rhinometry (AR) (Rhin2100, Rhinometrics, Lynge, Denmark) to accurately determine the dimensions (cross-sectional areas and volumes) of the curved and complex slit-like geometry of the nasal airway.A plastic model representing the replicate of a decongested nasal airway was produced by ...

Acoustic Rhinometry in Rhinological Practice: Discussion Paper
Journal of the Royal Society of Medicine, 1994Acoustic rhinometry is a new technique which evaluates nasal obstruction by analysing reflections of a sound pulse introduced via the nostrils. The technique is rapid, reproducible, non-invasive and requires minimal cooperation from the subject. Unlike rhinomanometry it does not require airflow.

Hypertonic saline nasal provocation and acoustic rhinometry
Clinical & Experimental Allergy, 2002SummaryBackground Hypertonic saline (HTS) acts as an airway irritant in human nasal mucosa by stimulating nociceptive nerves and glandular secretion. HTS does not change vascular permeability. In asthma, HTS causes airflow obstruction.Objective To determine the effect of HTS on mucosal swelling using acoustic rhinometry (AcRh).

Acoustic rhinometry: evaluation of nasal cavity geometry by acoustic reflection
Journal of Applied Physiology, 1989To study the geometry of the nasal cavity we applied an acoustic method (J. Appl. Physiol. 43: 523–536, 1977) providing an estimate of cross-sectional area as a function of distance. Acoustic areas in a model constructed from a human nasal cast, in the nasal cavity of a cadaver and in 10 normal subjects and two patients with well-defined afflictions ...

Acoustic Rhinometry, Rhinomanometry and Nasal Surgery
Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery, 1995Educational objectives: To understand the techniques used in performing and interpreting rhinomanometry and acoustic rhinometry and to utilize the findings of the these studies to better treat patients with nasal obstructive symptoms.
