Research Summary

Dr Schulz is a Consultant Neurologist at the John Radcliffe Hospital and has an honorary agreement with the Nuffield Department of Clinical Neurosciences (Centre for the Prevention of Stroke and Dementia). She is based in the Acute Multidisciplinary Imaging and Interventional Centre (AMIIC). Her main research interest is MR-imaging after TIA and minor stroke. She studies the clinical usefulness of established MRI-techniques and also explores possible clinical applications for newly developed MR-sequences in close collaboration with the centre for functional MRI of the brain (FMRIB). Dr Schulz is particularly interested in patients with posterior circulation disease, their prognosis and risk factors. In addition to conducting clinical and imaging studies, she is also the main investigator for the Vertebral Artery Ischaemia Stenting Trial (VIST) in Oxford. This multi-centre trial compares best medical treatment versus best medical treatment plus intervention (stenting or angioplasty) in patients with a recently symptomatic vertebral artery stenosis.
