Abstract

Numerous studies are devoted to the behavior of pressure in the maxillary sinus, although most of the researchers focus on the patency of the maxillary junction in identifying the indications for surgery or in measuring the dynamics of treatment. In all cases, characteristics of the pressure in the maxillary sinus were recorded with standard rhinomanometric equipment as well as rhinometric, sinusmetric and pneumometric devices.

Within recent years, researchers have improved technical tools for high-accuracy recording of biomedical signals, which allows a new-level study of the dynamics of air pressure in the maxillary sinus.

The paper presents a hardware and software system for researching the function of ostiomeatal complex. The system provides simultaneous measurement of differential pressure signals in the maxillary sinus and the nasal cavity, which ensures an objective assessment of the maxillary sinus function and ostiomeatal complex structures. Accuracy of the measurements is assessed through calculation of uncertainty, whereas the method of reduction improves reliability of indirect correlated measurements and veracity of the uncertainty assessment. The devised approach can improve the efficiency of diagnosing ENT diseases.
