Abstract

Acoustic rhinometry was introduced as an objective tool for the assessment of the nasal cavity geometry in 1989 by Hilberg et al. Acoustic rhinometry is potentially useful in the assessment of the nasal cavity geometry, nasal patency and the results of various medical and surgical therapies. However, interpretations that do not consider the limitations of the technique may easily lead to misinterpretations.
