acoustic rhinometry

Acoustic rhinometry is a technique used to measure the shape and size of your nasal passages. It works by sending a sound wave into your nose and analyzing how the sound bounces back. This helps doctors see if your nasal passages are blocked or narrowed, which can cause breathing problems. The test is quick, non-invasive, and painless, providing valuable information to diagnose nasal issues, plan treatments, or monitor changes over time. Essentially, it uses sound to create a map of the nasal cavity’s geometry without needing surgery or uncomfortable procedures.
