Arthur Schuller: Founder of Neuroradiology: A Life On Two Continents

Professor Arthur Schüller (1874-1957) was a distinguished pioneer in the field of neuroradiology. His research rapidly made him the pre-eminent authority on the radiology of the skull and brain in the German-speaking world particularly after the publication of his two books including a monograph on diseases of the head which became the standard textbook throughout the classic era of neuroradiology.He was a university professor at the age of 35 author of many scientific articles in medical journals and is credited with the first description of three diseases and three operations.Schüller was also a refugee - fleeing Austria with his wife in 1938 and settling in Melbourne in 1939. The analysis of his career is woven into the personal history of his family. Tragically his later years were darkened by the news from Europe that his two sons had perished in a concentration camp.
