Over the past decade, Acoustic Rhinometry
has become a well established method in rhinological
research and practice. In many countries, reimbursement
is now standard.
Rapidity, digital precision and simplicity
Previously, Rhinomanometry was the major diagnostic
possibility for nasal obstructions and evaluation. But
now Acoustic Rhinometry is an effective supplement,
adding important information to a diagnosis of nasal
problems. Acoustic rhinometry is a static test that
calculates nasal cross-sectional areas and volume. This
can be before and after decongestion, surgery etc. Its
rapidity, digital precision, simplicity and non invasive
nature are its prime assets. |
