Biography: 

Dr. Douglas Arnold is a neurologist with special expertise in MRI. His personal research interests are centered on the use of advanced neuro-imaging techniques to assess the pathological evolution of multiple sclerosis and Alzheimer's disease and to quantify the effects of therapy on these diseases.
