计算流体力学在鼻科临床诊治中的应用进展

Progress in the application of computational fluid dynamics in clinical diagnosis and treatment of rhinology

摘要:

鼻腔鼻窦由于结构性变化导致的气流场改变会影响鼻的生理功能，然而对鼻腔气流场的定量研究一直存在困难。计算流体力学(CFD)的发展为研究鼻腔气流变化提供了可行的途径。基于数字化鼻腔模型的CFD技术已在正常鼻腔生理功能的研究、异常鼻腔结构的气流特征分析、手术疗效评估和虚拟手术以及鼻用药物研究等方面取得诸多成果，具有非常显著的优势。尽管CFD技术的临床应用还面临许多困难，随着计算机技术、人工智能的快速发展，其在鼻科临床诊疗领域将有广阔的发展空间。

Abstract:

The change of airflow field caused by structural changes in nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses will affect the physiological function of nose. However, it is always difficult to quantitatively study the airflow field in nasal cavity. The development of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) provides a feasible way to study the changes of nasal airflow. CFD technology based on digital nasal model has a very significant advantage, which has achieved many achievements in the study of normal nasal physiological function, the analysis of airflow characteristics of abnormal nasal structure, the evaluation of surgical curative effect, virtual surgery, and the research of nasal drugs. With the rapid development of computer technology and artificial intelligence, although the clinical application of CFD technology still faces many difficulties, it will have great development potential in nasal clinical application.
