Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery, 1999 Authors: B. Kemker, X. Liu, A. Gungor, R. Moinuddin, and J.P. Corey Conclusion: “Acoustic Rhinometry (AR) was used to objectively measure the success of septoplasty in relieving nasal obstruction caused by septal deviation.” “AR measurements were successful in detecting increases in CSAs 1, 2, and 3 [Cross Sectional Areas] but…
Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery, 1999 Authors: J. P. Corey, V. P. Nalbone, B. A. Ng Conclusion: “Acoustic Rhinometry (AR) evaluates the cross-sectional areas and volume of the nasal cavity through acoustic reflections. Successive valleys displayed on an AR graph are believed to correspond to anatomic landmarks. To assess the anatomic accuracy of AR, we performed…
