    Collapse Overview 
    Collapse overview
    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.

    Altmetrics Details PMC Citations indicate the number of times the publication was cited by articles in PubMed Central, and the Altmetric score represents citations in news articles and social media. (Note that publications are often cited in additional ways that are not shown here.) Fields are based on how the National Library of Medicine (NLM) classifies the publication's journal and might not represent the specific topic of the publication. Translation tags are based on the publication type and the MeSH terms NLM assigns to the publication. Some publications (especially newer ones and publications not in PubMed) might not yet be assigned Field or Translation tags.) Click a Field or Translation tag to filter the publications.
