Decision support system for objective nasal airway obstruction assessment using computational fluid dynamics

Surgery is often treatment of choice for nasal airway obstruction caused by anatomic abnormalities. Objective measures for nasal patency, such as rhinometry, correlate poorly with patient's symptoms and long-term satisfaction rates are low. In this project we develop a decision support system using patient-specific computational fluid dynamics models as an objective assessment tool in clinics. Model geometry is based on statistical shape models fitted to tomographic data.
