Abstract
THE HUMAN sense of smell has been little utilized in modern medicine because of its lack of precision. However, other species such as dogs, with highly adapted olfactory systems, have legendary abilities to distinguish odor, and have even been used for diagnostic purposes in medicine. Efforts to artificially reproduce biologic olfactory systems have resulted in several technologies that are capable of analyzing odor with remarkable precision.Keywords
