Fig. 3From: A deformable template method for describing and averaging the anatomical variation of the human nasal cavityDescription of variation in data set. (1) Airway with significant congestion, resulting in filled inferior meatus. (2) Airway with four meatuses. (3) Cross-section where middle and superior meatuses are of small cross-sectional area; (4) larger cross-sectional area, highly pronounced superior meatus, and partially-congested upward-curving supreme meatus. (5) Superimposed images from nasal cavities in [11]. As can be seen, the shape variation is relatively less broad in rangeBack to article page
