Rate My Professor Dr Chris Hayre

Dr Chris Hayre serves as Head of Discipline for Medical Imaging in the Department of Medical Radiation Science within the Faculty of Health at the University of Canberra. He is an Associate Professor in Diagnostic Radiography, with his Google Scholar profile listing research interests in medical imaging, emerging technology, and research methodology. Hayre holds a PhD and has accumulated 889 citations across his scholarly work. His career includes previous roles such as Senior Lecturer in Medical Imaging at the University of Exeter and contributions at Charles Sturt University. He currently also holds the position of Associate Professor in the Department of Medical Imaging & Radiation Sciences at Monash University. Hayre's research addresses critical issues in radiography, including radiation dose optimisation, the impacts of patient positioning in computed tomography, cultural competency among diagnostic radiography students, radiographers' organisational commitment and occupational stress during the first COVID-19 wave, and graduate radiographers' perspectives on work experiences.

Hayre has an extensive publication record comprising 82 research outputs from 2016 to 2025. Notable books include 'Computed Tomography: A Primer for Radiographers' (2022, co-authored with M. Chau), 'General Radiography: Principles and Practice' (Boca Raton: CRC Press, co-authored with W. Cox), 'Emerging Technologies in Healthcare: Interpersonal and Client-Based Perspectives' (2024, edited with others), and 'Artificial Intelligence and Data Analytics in Medical Imaging'. Key peer-reviewed articles encompass 'Radiographers' perceptions on the quality of managing general radiographic paediatric examinations through the use of a reflective tool' (2023, PLOS ONE, co-authored with K. Caruana and C. Makanjee), 'Australian graduate radiographers' perspectives and experiences of work' (2023, co-authored with J. Zhang, C. Makanjee, and S. Lewis), 'Dose creep in digital radiography' (2020), 'Diagnostic radiography education amidst the COVID-19 pandemic' (2021), 'Theory of optimising radiation protection among diagnostic radiographers' (2024, co-authored with S. Lewis), and 'The impacts of vertical off-centring, localiser direction, phantom size and positioning on CT dose' (2022). His contributions align with UN Sustainable Development Goals 3 (Good Health and Well-being) and 4 (Quality Education), influencing clinical practices and education in medical radiation science.
