Acoustic Rhinometry
What is Acoustic Rhinometry?
Acoustic Rhinometry is a relatively new non-invasive assessment of the upper airway dimensions. The method is based on advanced acoustic techniques. By sending wide-band noise signals into the nose and analyzing the reflected sound, a clear picture of the cross-sectional area is presented.
We also have another nasal test that is complimentary to Acoustic Rhinometry, this test measures the inflow and outflow of fair into the nose, both test are complimentary. These tests are very useful and specific to investigate nasal function and anatomic problems inside the nose; they evaluate the pre and post treatment status. Patients with Obstructive Sleep Apnea can be evaluated to rule out obstructive problems in the nose that can be part of the problem.
Patients with Allergic Rhinitis or turbinate enlargement can be evaluated before and after treatment and select patients that can be beneficiated with surgery.
