Rhinology, 1992

Authors: H. Lenders and W. Pirsig

Conclusion: “Acoustic rhinometry is a quick, non-invasive and objective method to measure the cross-sectional areas and volumes of the nasal cavities.”

“Clinically recognizable irregular movements of the soft palate in rhonchopaths can be visualized by AR in 94% of all patients.”

“This study shows that AR helps to evaluate anatomical stenosis of the nasal cavities and irregular movements in the velopharyngeal segment.”
