Abstract :
The work presents the results of a new way of nasal cycle assessment using acoustic rhinometry as a data source and cross-spectrum to process measurement results. The results of the research conducted on the group of 12 young volunteers were shown. Nasal cycles were present in 75% cases and lasted 110 minutes on average. The described methodology shall be of clinical importance in the course of allergy assessment as well as widely understood rhinology diagnostics.
