To review the capabilities, clinical impacts, and technical limitations of computational fluid dynamics simulations based on three-dimensional nasal imaging models.
Reviewed literature applying computational fluid dynamics (CFD) constructed from CT or MRI images to model human nasal cavities.
Compared CFD capabilities against standard clinical diagnostic tools including rhinomanometry and acoustic rhinometry.
Evaluated the capacity of simulations to quantify airflow patterns, velocity, pressure, wall shear stress, particle deposition, and mucosal temperature changes.
CFD provides detailed spatial measurements of laminar versus turbulent airflow patterns, pressure gradients, and mucosal heat transfer that traditional rhinometry tools cannot capture.
Three-dimensional simulations effectively model the physiological impact of anatomical variations and predict post-operative structural alterations to assist surgical planning.
