Dr. Liu earned his medical degree (MD) at the Keck School of Medicine, University of Southern California and his MS in electrical engineering at Stanford. After an internship in internal medicine at Santa Clara Medical Center, Dr. Liu completed residency at the Mallinckrodt Institute, Washington University followed by a thoracic radiology fellowship at Stanford. He joined the Cardiothoracic Radiology section of the Department of Radiology in 2022
Dr. Liu's clinical and research interests include 3D printing applications in nuclear medicine and artificial intelligence applications in thoracic and cardiovascular radiology. During residency, Dr. Liu was instrumental in a collaborative project at Washington University to introduce radiology into the anatomy curriculum, providing more clinical experiences for medical students earlier in their training. His clinical interests include interstitial lung disease, lung cancer, and vascular imaging.
