Dr. Langlotz is Professor of Radiology, Medicine, and Biomedical Data Science and Director of the Center for Artificial Intelligence in Medicine and Imaging (AIMI Center) at Stanford University, which supports outstanding interdisciplinary artificial intelligence research that optimizes how clinical data are used to promote health. As Associate Chair for Information Systems and a Medical Informatics Director for Stanford Health Care, he is also responsible for the computer technology that supports the Stanford Radiology practice, including 8 million imaging studies that occupy nearly a petabyte of storage.

Dr. Langlotz’s laboratory investigates the use of deep neural networks and other machine learning technologies to detect disease and eliminate diagnostic errors by providing intelligent assistance to radiologists, clinicians, and patients.  The laboratory supports translational work and, after assessment of clinical effectiveness, encourages commercialization and dissemination of the resulting software.

Dr. Langlotz has led many recent national and international efforts to improve the quality of radiology reports, including the RadLex™ terminology standard, the RadLex™ Playbook of radiology exam codes, the RSNA report template library, and a technical standard (PDF) for communication of radiology templates.

As Associate Chair for Information Systems in the Department of Radiology and Medical Informatics Director for Stanford Health Care (SHC), Dr. Langlotz is responsible for the computer technology that supports the Stanford Radiology practice, including 8 million imaging studies and their corresponding reports, which occupy nearly a petabyte of storage.

Dr. Langlotz is the author of the book The Radiology Report, and has authored over 150 scientific publications in the fields of biomedical informatics and comparative effectiveness research.   He is a founder and Past President of the Radiology Alliance for Health Services Research (RAHSR), a former President of the Society for Imaging Informatics in Medicine (SIIM), and a former board member of the Association of University Radiologists (AUR).  During his SIIM presidency, SIIM founded the American Board of Imaging Informatics, and established a formal certification and education program for imaging informatics professionals.  Dr. Langlotz currently serves as chair of the Board of Directors of the Radiological Society of North America.  He has been elected a Fellow of the American College of Medical Informatics, the College of SIIM Fellows, and the American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering.

Dr. Langlotz and his trainees have received numerous awards, including the Lee B. Lusted Student Prize from the Society for Medical Decision Making, the Memorial Award from the Association of University Radiologists, the Roger Bauman Award from SIIM, the Best Paper Award from the Journal of Digital Imaging, and six GE-AUR Radiology Research Academic Fellowship (GERRAF) Awards.
