Depending on your specific symptoms and goals, your personalized evaluation typically begins with a detailed clinical history and physical airway examination to identify foundational structural clues.
From there, we select from a robust toolkit of diagnostic options tailored to your needs, which may include an awake nasopharyngoscopy for real-time, flexible visualization of the nasal passages and throat, or advanced adult and pediatric rhinometry and pharyngometry to acoustically measure precise airway volume and collapsibility.
When a deeper structural understanding is required, we can utilize Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) to capture high-definition, 3D imaging of your upper airway and craniofacial anatomy.
Finally, to accurately analyze your sleep architecture, your diagnostic plan might incorporate the expert interpretation of in-lab polysomnography for adults and children, or the convenience of home sleep apnea testing utilizing cutting-edge wearable technology like WatchPAT® devices.
