本研究的目的是比较鼻容积的变化，使用声学容积测量法（AR）和计算机断层扫描（CT）。受试者为10名儿童（6名女孩和4名男孩，年龄范围为12-14岁），他们需要根据各自的错牙合进行快速上颌扩大（RME）。所有患者经鼻内窥镜检查鼻腔均正常，分别于治疗开始时（t（1））和扩张后6个月（t（2））进行AR和CT检查。用Wilcoxon's检验评价扩张引起的鼻容积变化，用相关分析评价两种方法之间的相关性，两种方法均显示使用RME后鼻容积显著增加（P < 0.05）。相关分析显示两种方法的体积无差异（P > 0.05）。
The purpose of this study was to compare nasal volume changes using acoustic rhinometry (AR) and computed tomography (CT). The subjects were 10 children (6 girls and 4 boys, with an age range of 12-14 years) who required rapid maxillary expansion (RME) on the basis of their individual malocclusion. All patients were found to have normal nasal cavities following anterior rhinoscopic examination.AR and CT were undertaken at the start of treatment (t(1)) and 6 months after expansion (t(2)). Volume changes due to expansion were evaluated using Wilcoxon's test, and the correlation between the two methods was assessed with correlation analyses.Both methods demonstrated that nasal volume significantly increased following the use of RME (P < 0.05). Correlation analyses showed no difference in volume (P > 0.05) using either of the two methods.
