声学鼻腔测量是一种检测和记录正常人鼻腔横截面积和鼻腔体积的合适方法。本研究试图检测和确定正常人的鼻腔周期，以便开发一种可靠的、可重复性的技术，用于鼻部疾病的生理和病理研究。我们使用了正常的志愿者成人受试者，在4小时内每15分钟进行一次双侧鼻声测量，并在每次声学鼻测测量之前使用视觉模拟标尺评估充血(或通畅)的主观感觉。观察每个受试者的容量和横截面积的变化以及主观通畅度的变化，主观的通畅感与同时测量的体积和横截面积的变化无关。本文介绍了鼻声学鼻腔测量技术在鼻腔研究中的应用。
Acoustic rhinometry is an appropriate method for detecting and recording the nasal cycle in normal subjects in terms of the cross-sectional areas and volume of the nasal cavity, In this study, we tried to detect and to define the nasal cycle in normal subjects so that we might develop a reliable and reproducible technique to be used in conjunction with studies on the physiology and pathology of nasal disease. We used normal volunteer adult subjects and performed bilateral acoustic rhinometry measurements every 15 minutes over 4 hours, along with the use of a visual analog scale for assessment of the subjective feeling of congestion (or patency) just before each acoustic rhinometry measurement. Volume and cross-sectional area changes were observed along with subjective patency-score changes in each subject, The subjective feeling of patency was not related to the volume and cross-sectional area changes measured simultaneously. The technique of recording the nasal cycle with acoustic rhinometry in nasal research is presented.
