Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery, 1997 Authors: L. Shemen and R. Hamburg Conclusion: “AR is useful in the objective diagnosis of nasal obstruction, namely, it can assist in differentiating reversible mucosal disease from medically irreversible structural abnormalities.” “AR can aid in the selection of appropriate management of nasal obstruction.” “AR is useful in the objective evaluation…
Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery, 1997 Authors: J. P. Corey, MD, B. J. Kemker, MD, R. Nelson, and A. Gungor, MD Conclusion: “Acoustic rhinometry gives a valid two-dimensional impression of the anatomy of the nasal cavity, which illustrates areas of potential obstruction, congestion, or septal abnormalities. The technique has been demonstrated to be sensitive enough to…
Ear, Nose and Throat Journal, 1997 Authors: R. Roithmann, MD, I. Shpirer, MD, P. Cole, MD, J. Chapnik, MD, J. P. Szalai, PhD, N. Zamel, MD Conclusion: “We conclude that acoustic rhinometry is an alternative objective method for measuring nasal mucosa responses to allergen challenge and is as sensitive as nasal airflow resistance measurements. The…
Acta Otolaryngolica, 1997 Authors: P. G. Djupesland and B. Lyholm Conclusion: “The results presented in this study, confirming those from previous studies (11, 13), further emphasize the potentials and advantages of the acoustic reflection technique as an investigative tool in studies of respiratory dynamics in infants. The examination takes only seconds to perform, is non-invasive,…
