• COVID-19 patients with total loss of smell have more olfactory bulb abnormalities at the magnetic resonance imaging than patients without loss of smell. • The olfactory bulb MRI abnormalities may be objectified through a signal intensity ratio measurement that is calculated between the average signals of the olfactory bulb and the frontal white matter. • The loss of smell is probably due to olfactory bulb inflammation related to virus spread.
• 与嗅觉正常的 COVID-19 患者相比,嗅觉完全丧失的患者的嗅球在磁共振成像中存在更多异常。• 通过计算嗅球和额白质平均信号之间的信号强度比,可以客观化嗅球 MRI 异常。• 嗅觉丧失可能是由于病毒扩散引起的嗅球炎症所致。
