Impact of External Nasal Dilator on the Rhinogram
Nasal ObstructionThe aim of this study is to present new data for a better understanding of the anatomic correlation of these two notches. This study included 32 nasal cavities (16 individuals) with external nasal dilator strip (Breath Right®) and after decongestion (0.05% oxymetazoline chloride applied as an aerosol spray);

Septal DeformityNasal ObstructionThe purpose of this observation study is to evaluate long term safety and efficacy at 2~3 years after surgery on patients who have completed nasal septal deformity surgery using TnR Nasal Mesh.
Thermal Imaging as a Potential Diagnostic Tool of Nasal Airflow
Nasal Airway ObstructionCurrently, there are no tools that can measure nasal airflow in an objective manner that is non-invasive to the patient. This clinical study aims to address this by evaluating the use of thermal imaging as a diagnostic tool for measuring nasal airflow. Proper airflow cools the nasal airway as it passes--obstructions or narrowed airways hinder flow and results in elevated temperatures along the airway and nasal tissue. It is this elevation in temperature, or more specifically, loss of cooling, that we hypothesize to be measurable with thermal imaging. Participants in this study will be asked to perform 3-4 nasal breathing cycles which will be recorded by the thermal imager.
