POSSIBILITIES OF CONE BEAM COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY IN THE DIAGNOSIS OF NASAL VALVE DYSFUNCTION
Abstract
Nasal valve region plays a key role in the formation of an adequate intranasal aerodynamics, regulating the air flow and nasal resistance. The research of the anatomy in patients before any surgical intervention aimed at alleviating nasal obstruction is mandatory. Cone-beam computed tomography is one of the leading methods in the study of the nasal valve dysfunction. This technique allows you to get high-quality image with minimal exposure to the patient, to choose the optimal surgical approach, to determine the sequence of steps in the process of operation.
