Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Diagnostic Imaging
  • Respiratory Physiology

Background:

  • Traditional methods for evaluating the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses are being superseded by advanced technologies.
  • Accurate assessment of nasal function is critical for diagnosing and managing various respiratory conditions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the current state of diagnostic technologies for the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses.
  • To highlight advancements in the objective assessment of nasal patency, secretory function, and mucociliary function.

Main Methods:

  • Nasal endoscopy and computerized tomography (CT) for structural evaluation.
  • Rhinomanometry for objective assessment of nasal airway patency.
  • Nasal cytology, inflammatory mediator quantification, and biochemical analysis for secretory function.

  • Nasal mucociliary clearance measurement and ciliary beat frequency analysis for mucociliary function.

    • Main Results:

    • Nasal endoscopy is the gold standard for rhinoscopic examination.
    • CT scans are now the standard for initial paranasal sinus evaluation.
    • Rhinomanometry offers objective patency assessment and enables provocation tests.
    • Various methods exist for evaluating secretory and mucociliary functions, with ongoing research into new techniques.

    Conclusions:

    • Modern diagnostic systems significantly enhance the physical evaluation of the nasal cavity and sinuses.
    • Objective functional assessments, particularly rhinomanometry, are essential and should not be overlooked.
    • Continued research is exploring novel methods like acoustic rhinometry for improved nasal evaluation.
