Conclusion: “Acoustic rhinometry may be particularly well suited to the evaluation of anterior nasal geometry during clinical studies. In conclusion, this study comparing in vivo acoustic and CT data indicates that acoustic rhinometry provides reliable measurements in the first part of the nose, particularly in the area of the nasal valve.”
