Conclusion: “Separate computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) correlation studies have confirmed the reliability of AR measurements.”

“Objective nasal assessment with AR allows us to assess whether an obstruction is structural, mucosal, or mixed with an objective grading of the disease according to standardized normal values.”
