The Dr. George M. Austin Neurology Research Collection
George M. Austin MD, 1916-2002
Neurosurgeon, Neuroscientist, Professor, Mathematician, Researcher and Author.
Dr. George M. Austin was a neurosurgeon who made significant contributions to the field, particularly in the study of brain aneurysms. He developed "The Austin Equation," a mathematical model describing blood flow in aneurysms. His research examined factors influencing aneurysm enlargement and rupture. He published over 200 articles on these and other subjects. While serving as Chair of the Section of Neurosurgery at Loma Linda University, he founded "Neurological Research," a well respected journal in the field. Additionally, Dr. Austin was a dedicated educator and established residency programs at both the University of Oregon and Loma Linda University.
Large portions of the collection have been digitized and are available here.
