Background

About Susanne Mueller

Susanne Mueller, MD, is an Professor and an Application Scientist at the Center for Imaging of Neurodegenerative Diseases at the San Francisco Veterans Affairs Medical Center. Dr. Mueller obtained her MD from the University of Zurich in Switzerland. She completed a residency in Neurology from the University of Zurich in Switzerland, a residency in Internal Medicine from Hospital Neumunster in Zurich, Switzerland, and residency in Neurology from the University of Zurich in Switzerland, followed by a postdoctoral fellowship in Radiology from UCSF. Presently, Dr. Mueller has research concentrating on three areas: advanced MR imaging acquisitions and processing methods in partial epilepsy, accurate early diagnosis of dementias and identification of treatable concomitant conditions using MRI/MRS, and the use of advanced imaging/spectroscopy methods to study mechanism of neurodegeneration. She has several research projects, which use advanced spectroscopic editing methods to study the influence of oxidative stress in the early manifestations of neurodegeneration and new functional imaging methods in combination with new analysis methods.
