C. Jason Liu, MD, PhD

C. Jason Liu, MD, PhD, is an Assistant Professor of Clinical Radiology at the Children’s Hospital Los Angeles. Dr. Liu received his medical degree from the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, completed his residency in Diagnostic Radiology from Temple University Hospital in 2011, and completed a fellowship in Neuroradiology from University of California San Francisco in 2013. He was faculty at the Keck Medical Center of USC / LAC+USC prior to his current position at CHLA.

Dr. Liu specializes in the diagnosis of neurological disorders. His main research interest is the application of advanced imaging methods to better diagnose and characterize neurological disorders, such as epilepsy. Dr. Liu currently serves as the Magnetic Resonance Medical Director as well as the Human Imaging Core Director.
