Make use of all the valuable information coming from the functional analysis of the air's behavior in your patient’s nasal cavity to improve your diagnoses and safely face the surgical intervention.
“Flowgy represents a real revolution in the study of nasal cavities. Not only can we complement the radiological information, i.e. anatomical information, with the functional information of this program, but we can also perform virtual operations with the predictable functional result of the same, which is a very important approach to solve the real problems of patients with nasal pathology scientifically and not on the basis of impressions or experiences.”
Current diagnostic methods, such as active anterior rhinomanometry (AAR), peak inspiratory nasal flow (PIF) or acoustic rhinometry (AR), are invasive and do not provide sufficiently detailed information to accurately and reliably diagnose pathologies derived from nasal obstruction.

Since the late 1990s, computational fluid mechanics (CFD) and virtual surgery techniques have been used for air flow analysis in the nasal cavities.
The main objective of these studies has been to improve our understanding of the mechanical behavior of the nasal cavity, and to use the information obtained from CFD analysis to help the ENT specialist in nasal diagnosis and surgery.
CFD technology is being used in a standardized way for the last 50 years in leading technology industries such as:
Easy! With CFD reports of the real air behavior in the upper airway, made directly from your patient’s CT scan.
Functional analysis of the airflow in the nasal cavity from a CT scan of the patient, through computational fluid dynamics techniques.
The results obtained will provide the medical team with objective and quantitative information about the behavior of the air in the patient’s nasal anatomy, supporting the diagnosis and the medical professional’s decision making.
Customized analysis of the airflow in the nasal cavity from a patient’s CT scan.
This study allows you to modify the nasal anatomical structure of the patient (virtual surgery) and analyze whether the changes made will result in a functional improvement for the patient’s well-being.
