Comparison between Acoustic rhinometry, Nasal Inspiratory Peak Flow, and Table of Scores in Patients with Rhinitis

International Archives of Otorhinolaryngology, 2005 Authors: Orcesi da Costa, G. G., Ctenas, B. B., Takahashi, D. Y., Mion, O. Mello, Jr., J. F., Butugan, O. Conclusion: 1). Acoustic Rhinometry (ARNM) presented statistically expressive correlation with signs and symptoms before and after vasoconstrictor use when analyzed five centimeters nostrils inward. 2). There was no statistically expressive…

An Interpretation Method for Objective Assessment of Nasal Congestion with Acoustic Rhinometry

Laryngoscope, 2002 Authors: B. Mamikoglu, S. M. Houser, and J. P. Corey Conclusion: “Separate computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) correlation studies have confirmed the reliability of AR measurements.” “Objective nasal assessment with AR allows us to assess whether an obstruction is structural, mucosal, or mixed with an objective grading of the disease…

The Role of Acoustic Rhinometry in Nasal Provocation Testing

Ear, Nose and Throat Journal, 1997 Authors: R. Roithmann, MD, I. Shpirer, MD, P. Cole, MD, J. Chapnik, MD, J. P. Szalai, PhD, N. Zamel, MD Conclusion: “We conclude that acoustic rhinometry is an alternative objective method for measuring nasal mucosa responses to allergen challenge and is as sensitive as nasal airflow resistance measurements. The…

Evaluation of the Nasal Cavity by Acoustic Rhinometry in Normal and Allergic Subjects

Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery, 1997 Authors: J. P. Corey, MD, B. J. Kemker, MD, R. Nelson, and A. Gungor, MD Conclusion: “Acoustic rhinometry gives a valid two-dimensional impression of the anatomy of the nasal cavity, which illustrates areas of potential obstruction, congestion, or septal abnormalities. The technique has been demonstrated to be sensitive enough to…

Acoustic Rhinometry Compared with Anterior Rhinomanometry in the Assessment of the Response to Nasal Allergen Challenge

Clinical Otolaryngology, 1994 Authors: G. K. Scadding, Y. C. Darby, and C. E. Austin Conclusion: “Acoustic rhinometry has a definite advantage [to rhinomanometry] because it is not dependent on airflow in the nose, and it is therefore suitable for severely congested individuals. It also appears to be more sensitive to changes in obstruction, probably because…

The Use of Acoustic Rhinometry to Quantitatively Assess Changes after Intranasal Allergen Challenge

American Journal of Rhinology, 1994 Authors: V. W. S. Lai, J. P. Corey Conclusion: “Acoustic Rhinometry is a reliable technique for assessing the results of nasal provocation. This is a simple test to perform and is a good objective evaluation of the degree of nasal patency. Results are obtained quickly and consistently and are highly…
