Olfactory fMRI has provided an objective assessment of olfactory function in normal brain and pathological subjects. Optimizing the fMRI acquisition is of paramount importance when studying olfactory areas due to high B0 inhomogeneities and thin cortical areas involved. Fully synchronizing the acquisition to the odorants delivery with patient respiration increases the effectiveness of the experiment. Using this technique in COVID-19 patients with anosmia could determine the correct rehabilitation therapy for these subjects and new treatment pathways.
