Evaluation of Rhinostereometry Compared with Acoustic Rhinometry
Acta Oto-Laryngologica, 1999Measurement of the nasal mucosa is a challenging task. There are many different methods; each with advantages and disadvantages. In the last decade two new methods have been used extensively: acoustic rhinometry and rhinostereometry. Many studies with rhinostereometry have shown interesting results.

Acoustic rhinometry in pre-school children
Clinical Otolaryngology, 1993Acoustic rhinometry was performed in 35 normal nose-breathing children between 3 and 6 years. The average cross-sectional areas at the nasal valve, at the anterior end of the turbinates, and in the nasopharynx were 0.34 +/- 0.06 cm2, 0.35 +/- 0.08 cm2 and 1.37 +/- 0.48 cm2 respectively.

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 ...

Nasoantral window assessment by acoustic rhinometry
The Journal of Laryngology & Otology, 1994AbstractTwenty-five patients who had each had inferior meatal antrostomies performed were endoscopically examined and assessed with acoustic rhinometry six weeks and six months after surgery. No significant increase in nasal cross-sectional area could be demonstrated at the site of the antrostomy in the post-operative cases, although the nasoantral ...

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 ...

Acoustic rhinometry in pediatric sleep apnea
Sleep and Breathing, 2009This prospective study aimed to evaluate the use of acoustic rhinometry (AR) in pediatric obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).Children with clinically suspected OSA underwent AR measurements followed by attended overnight polysomnography.Of a total of 20 subjects (13 boys, seven girls), 15 (75%) had OSA, defined as apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) greater than or ...

Study of Nasal Cycle in Children by Acoustic Rhinometry
Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery, 2004Background Studies concerning nasal cycle physiology in children are still rare, and controversies exist about its existence. This study was ascertained to evaluate the dynamic behavior of inferior turbinates in children by acoustic rhinometry. Methods

Acoustic rhinometry in infants and children.
Rhinology. Supplement, 2000Acoustic rhinometry (AR), introduced a decade ago for assessment of the nasal airways of adults, has several attractive features relevant to application in a paediatric population. Its non-invasive nature, simplicity and rapidity are prime assets when examining infants and small children.

Acoustic rhinometry: influence of paranasal sinuses
Journal of Applied Physiology, 1996The influence of the maxillary sinuses in acoustic rhinometry (AR) has not been evaluated, and this is the aim of the present study. We examined six subjects with AR and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) after nasal decongestion to compare the area-distance relationships determined by the two methods.

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.
