What is the Difference Between a Rhinomanometry and a Nasal Resistance Test? Options For Breathing Difficulties?

Does a rhinomanometry identify which specific structures in the nose are causing nasal obstruction or just whether there is a problem? Are there any other tests that will help identify the cause of breathing problems that are unrelated to the turbinates?

Rhinomanometry tests nasal resistance

Rhinomanometry and nasal resistance testing are effectively different names for the same process. In my personal practice, I do not feel like either adds much information relevant to surgical planning that cannot be obtained from physical exam alone.
