Evaluation of Nasal Obstruction with Odiosoft-Rhino in Nasal Septal Deviation

Abstract

Background: Evaluation of a recently developed method for measuring nasal obstruction. Objective: To investigate the reliability of a new software program called Odiosoft-Rhino (OR) as a presumptive diagnostic method to evaluate the nasal airflow of patients who have nasal septal deviation and to compare OR results with the acoustic rhinometry (AR) results and visual analogue scale (VAS) of nasal obstruction.
