After reviewing the main methods existing to calculate the rate of the mucociliary transport, the authors describe their personal technique. A 99mTechnetium Sulphur Colloid drop is deposited in the nasal fossa, which is carried away by the cilia down to the rhinopharynx and followed by a gamma camera. To calculate the transport rate, a new method of quantification has been introduced, based on the formation of a parametric image. A study was carried out in 14 males without any pathology of the upper airways, obtaining a mean velocity of 5.3 mm per min (range 3.3.-8.2).
在回顾了现有的计算黏液纤毛传输速率的主要方法后，作者描述了他们自己的技术。将一滴99m锝硫胶体滴入鼻窝，它会被纤毛带到鼻咽部，然后用γ相机进行跟踪。为了计算传输速率，引入了一种基于参数图像形成的新量化方法。对14名无上呼吸道疾病的男性进行了一项研究，得出平均速度为每分钟5.3毫米（范围为3.3 - 8.2）。
