Advanced Diagnostic Techniques in Obstructive Sleep Apnea.

Optimal surgical and medical management of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) requires clinically reliable identification of patterns and sites of upper airway obstruction. A wide variety of modalities has been used to evaluate upper airway obstruction. Drug-induced sleep endoscopy (DISE) and cine MRI are increasingly used to identify upper airway obstruction sites, to characterize airway obstruction patterns, to determine optimum medical and surgical treatment, and to plan individualized surgical management. Here, the authors provide an overview of the applications of DISE and cine MRI in assessing upper airway obstruction in children and adults with OSA.
