Conclusion: “The importance of our data is that racial differences in nasal geometry can be demonstrated by AR. Because of these differences in nasal dimensions, “normal values” for nasal volumes and cross-sectional areas should be calculated according to race. The clinical implications of the normative values may serve to guide the physician in preoperative evaluation and during endoscopy and operations.”
