Bio
Dr. Langlotz's laboratory investigates the use of deep neural networks and other machine learning technologies to help radiologists detect disease and eliminate diagnostic errors. His laboratory’s translational approach facilitates rapid evaluation and dissemination of the resulting algorithms. He is responsible for the information technology that supports Stanford’s radiology practice, including 6 million imaging studies that require 0.5 petabytes of storage.
Dr. Langlotz has led many recent national and international efforts to improve the quality of radiology communication, including the RadLex™ terminology standard, the RadLex™ Playbook of radiology exam codes, the RSNA report template library, and a technical standard for communication of radiology templates. He has published over 100 scholarly articles, and is author of the recent book “The Radiology Report: A Guide to Thoughtful Communication for Radiologists and Other Medical Professionals”.
Raised in St. Paul, Minnesota, Dr. Langlotz received his undergraduate degree in Human Biology, masters in Computer Science, MD in Medicine, and PhD in Medical Information Science, all from Stanford University. He is a founder and past president of the Radiology Alliance for Health Services Research, served as chair of the Society for Imaging Informatics in Medicine (SIIM), and as a board member of the American Medical Informatics Association and the Association of University Radiologists. He is a fellow of the American College of Medical Informatics and currently serves as president of the College of SIIM Fellows and as a board member of the Radiological Society of North America.
He is a recipient of the Lee B. Lusted Research Prize from the Society of Medical Decision Making and the Career Achievement Award from the Radiology Alliance for Health Services Research. He has founded three healthcare information technology companies, most recently Montage Healthcare Solutions, which was acquired by Nuance Communications in 2016.
