(a)–(f) Axial CT image normal nasal cavity. Measurements: (a) anterior bony width (ABW), minimal soft tissue (MMW), bony choanal aperture width (BCAW), and nasopharynx vertical distance (NVD); (b) right (RABW) and left (LABW) anterior bony width and right (RPBW) and left (LPBW) posterior bony width; (c) right (RAMW) and left (LAMW) anterior mucosal width and right (RMMW) and left (LMMW) minimal soft tissue width and right (RPMW) and left (LPMW) posterior mucosal width; (d) anterior mucosal width (AMW); (e) length of septum (LS) and maximal length of septum (MLS); (e) maximal width of vomer (MVW). Images (b), (c), (d), and (f) used color inversion.
