The European Academy of Allergy and Clinical Immunology Recommends Acoustic Rhinometry in the Evaluation and Assessment of Turbinate Hypertrophy.

RAbstract This report has been prepared by the European Academy of Allergy and Clinical Immunology Task Force on Allergic Rhinitis (AR) comorbidities. The aim of this multidisciplinary European consensus document is to highlight the role of multimorbidities in the definition, classification, mechanisms, recommendations for diagnosis and treatment of AR, and to define the needs in…

Rhinomanometry and acoustic rhinometry [Summary Statement 42]

Rhinomanometry, a technique that measures functional obstruction to airflow in the upper airway, may be used (1) to obtain objective assessment of nasal congestion, and may be particularly helpful in occupational rhinitis, or in assessing response to therapeutic interventions; (2) to assess the severity of anatomical abnormalities; or (3) to assist in the evaluation of patients with obstructive sleep apnea. 217 Acoustic rhinometry reflects acoustic signals from structures in the nasal cavity, thereby producing an image that represents variations in the cross-sectional dimensions of the nasal cavity…

Intersession Repeatability of Acoustic Rhinometry Measurements in Healthy Volunteers

Abstract Objectives Acoustic rhinometry is a rapid, reliable and non-invasive technique for the evaluation of conditions associated with impaired nasal patency. This study aimed to examine the intersession repeatability of acoustic rhinometry measurements of unilateral and combined nasal parameters in a group of healthy volunteers. Methods Twenty healthy volunteers were studied. In each subject, acoustic…

Sleep Group Solutions Introduces the Eccovision Acoustic Diagnostic Imaging System to the Medical Market

Sleep Group Solutions manufactures and distributes the Eccovision Acoustic Diagnostic Imaging System which was acquired from Hood Laboratories in 2008. Acoustic Pharyngometry and Rhinometry have become “gold standards” and recommended in society clinical practice guidelines as an instrument to objectively measure and test baseline oral/nasal airway size parameters used by thousands of practitioners, hospitals and universities worldwide. Eccovision is valued for its accuracy, non-invasive testing, low cost per use, real time data, and has been used in and/or published in over 2000 clinical research articles over the past 20 years.

Acoustic rhinometry and video endoscopic scoring to evaluate postoperative outcomes in endonasal spreader graft surgery with septoplasty and turbinoplasty for nasal valve collapse

  Abstract Background Nasal obstruction is a common complaint seen by otolaryngologists. The internal nasal valve (INV) is typically the narrowest portion of the nasal cavity, and if this area collapses on inspiration the patient experiences significant symptoms of nasal obstruction. The nasal obstruction is further compounded if the INV is narrower than normal. Previous…

Confirming Nasal Airway Patency Observed on Panoramic and Posterior-Anterior Cephalometric Radiographs Using an Acoustic Rhinometer and ImageJ

Tufts University–Pediatric Dentistry Authors: Jorge Landa, Alfred Rich, and Matthew Finkelman Rationale: “Currently, dentists and orthodontists rely on subjective visual assessment of the airway extraorally, and by analyzing panoramic radiographs and noting apparent structural and anatomical abnormalities. Once again this current modality of analysis lacks a standardized norm and is subject to human error and…
