Overview

Yucheng Liu is an MRI physicist in the Department of Radiology at Columbia University Irving Medical Center (CUIMC) and NewYork-Presbyterian. He also serves as the MR safety expert (MRSE) at CUIMC, the Neurological Institute of New York, ColumbiaDoctors Midtown and ColumbiaDoctors Tarrytown.

Mr. Liu received his MS degree in medical physics from Columbia University and completed his imaging residency at CUIMC. His clinical interests are MR physics, advanced MRI techniques, MRI risk assessment for patients with active implants (pacemaker and neurostimulator), and MRI protocols optimization. He is interested in artificial intelligence and his research is focused on developing deep-learning based computer-aided diagnosis frameworks that include organ segmentation, prognosis prediction, and disease classification.
