A Comparative Study of Brain Perfusion Single-Photon Emission Computed Tomography and Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Patients with Post-traumatic Anosmia

Abstract

The findings of this study suggest that damage to the frontal lobes and olfactory bulbs as shown in the brain MRI and hypoperfusion in the frontal, left parietal, and left temporal lobes in the semiquantitative SPECT corresponds to post-traumatic anosmia. Further neurophysiological and imaging studies are definitely needed to set the idea completely.
