title: [The reliability of determining the minimal cross section by acoustic rhinometry].
abstract: Acoustic rhinometry is a new technique that is rapid, reproducible, non-invasive and requires minimal subject cooperation. Many authors think that the method is most reliable in measurements of the anterior nasal cavity. The objective of this study was to determine the reliability of acoustic rhinometry measurements.
