ABSTRACT
The measurement of the nasal mucociliary transportation rate [MTR] is useful not only in the fundamental research but also in clinical evaluation of the patients as well .We have used the radioisotope 113m In-DTPA as the tracer combined with gamma scintigraphy in measuring this rate in 40 healthy aged persons. The mean value is 3.47mm/min. It is significantly slower than that of the adults and youths [5.71mm/min] [p<0.01]
