Acoustic Pharyngometry Measurement of Minimal Cross-Sectional Airway Area Is a Significant Independent Predictor of Moderate-To-Severe Obstructive Sleep Apnea
European Respiratory Journal, 1991
Authors: V. Hoffstein, J. J. Fredberg
Conclusion: “It is clear from the already accumulated evidence that the acoustic technique may become a valuable tool for studying the clinical and physiological properties of the upper airway. So far this technique is the only one which allows non-invasive, accurate, reproducible and inexpensive measurements of the upper airway area. This technique is suitable not only for the measurements of static properties, buy by virtue of its ability to measure airway areas
