History

New Book and Film Highlight the Career of Neuroradiology Pioneer

The life and times of Arthur Schüller (1874–1957) are the subject of a new book entitled Arthur Schüller: Founder of Neuroradiology, A Life on Two Continents and an accompanying documentary called Xrays to Exile. Schüller was a distinguished pioneer in the field of neuroradiology. His research rapidly made him the pre-eminent authority on radiology of the skull and brain, particularly after the publication of his monograph on diseases of the head, which became the standard textbook throughout the “classic era” of neuroradiology. He authored another book and more than 300 scientific articles and is credited with the first descriptions of 3 diseases and 3 operations.
