X-ray computed tomography (CT), acoustic rhinometry] as well as test kits for olfactory and trigeminal function, there is no spatially resolved method for assessment of nasal airflow, yet. (degruyter.com)
Measurements1
Patients underwent overnight polysomnography (PSG) monitoring and acoustic rhinometry (AR) to assess various measurements of the nasal cavity. (mhmedical.com)
Nasal cavity4
Acoustic rhinometry is a diagnostic measurement of cross sectional area and length of the nose and the nasal cavity through acoustic reflections. (wikipedia.org)
This sound pulse is reflected back to a microphone and this reflection is generated according to the changes in the local acoustic impedance related to cross-sectional area of the nasal cavity. (wikipedia.org)
Acoustic Rhinometers allow a very rapid non invasive examination of the nasal cavity using a sound pulse technique. (medicalexpo.com)
Acoustic rhinometry does not provide as extensive geometric information as MRI, but allow the whole nasal cavity and nasopharynx to be analyzed, and is thus superior to rhinomanometry in studying the [nasal] cycle. (rhinometer.com)
Diagnostic2
Diagnostic measurement of the nose and its cavity through acoustic reflections. (lookformedical.com)
Mund Kiefer GesichtsChirurgie, 1998 Authors: M. Kunkel, U. Wahlmann, W. Wagner Introduction: "Today, acoustic rhinometry can be viewed as an accepted diagnostic tool, frequently used in the planning and follow-up of functional nasal surgery, as well as in the quantitative evaluation of allergic mucosal reactions.

Airway2
Journal of Applied Physiology, 1998 Authors: A. D. D'Urzo, I. Rubinstein, V. G. Lawson, K. P. Vassal, A. S. Rebuck, A. S Slutsky, and V. Hoffstein Conclusion: "The acoustic reflection method is essentially a physiological tool, dedicated to performing only a single measurement, namely that of airway area. (eccovision.net)
Objective tools to determine airway dimensions include acoustic rhinometry, manometry, and 3-dimensional computed tomographic scans. (richardzoumalan.com)
Objective2
Acoustic rhinometry and anterior rhinomanometry as objective tools and visual analogue scale as a subjective tool are good for assessment of nasal patency on the patient for functional and aesthetic surgery of the nose. (journal-imab-bg.org)
All patients underwent nasal endoscopy, Cottle's test, visual analogue (VAS) scale assessment and objective functional evaluation of nasal patency by acoustic rhinometry and rhinomanometry before and after decongestion before the operation. (balkanmedicaljournal.org)
Anterior2
All patients were evaluated by acoustic rhinometry (AR), anterior rhinomanometry (ARM) and visual analogue scale (VAS) before and 12 months after surgery as well as before and after decongestion of the nasal mucosa. (journal-imab-bg.org)
Nasal peak inspiratory flow rate, acoustic rhinometry, anterior rhinomanometry, mucociliary clearance, olfactory thresholds, quality of life, and serum 17-beta-estradiol levels were measured at each visit. (uea.ac.uk)
Olfactory1
Sixty patients with a diagnosis of OSAS were en- rolled and underwent olfactory function evaluation. (actaitalica.it)
Obstruction1
Among them, acoustic rhinometry is useful for examining anatomical nasal obstruction and currently most common test in clinic. (e-ceo.org)
Pulse1
The test is carried out by generating an acoustic pulse from a speaker or spark source and this sound pulse is transmitted to the nose along a tube. (wikipedia.org)
Conclusion3
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. (eccovision.net)
Toga, K. Takahashi, N. Ohya Conclusion: "In conclusion, we measured pharyngeal parameters in a large number of normal subjects using the acoustic reflection technique with air breathing. (eccovision.net)
Cleft Palate-Craniofacial journal, January 1998 Authors: M. Kunkel, U. Wahlmann, W. Wagner Conclusion: "Cleft palate and control patients showed overlapping ranges of velopharyngeal mobility, indicating that muscle function cannot be classified as normal or pathologic by a single acoustic measurement.

Evaluate1
To evaluate the influence of the anatomy, acoustic rhinometry was performed. (nih.gov)
