چکیده

The first tier of the test battery is an olfactory screening test consisting of a 12-odor identification test. This test discriminates anosmia from hyposmia and normosmia.

A growing pool of normative data (Kobal et al., 2000) is now available and functional anosmia is defined as a deficit with a TDI score <15 (out of 48).
