Rate My Professor Katherine Guerrero

Katherine Guerrero is a Lecturer in Nuclear Medicine in the School of Allied Health and Human Performance, College of Health, at Adelaide University. She teaches a comprehensive suite of courses essential to nuclear medicine training, including RADY 2010 Nuclear Medicine Studies 1, RADY 3022 Nuclear Medicine Studies 2, RADY 3024 Nuclear Medicine Studies 4, RADY 3038 Nuclear Medicine Clinical Practice 2, RADY 4039 Nuclear Medicine Clinical Practice 3, RADY 4042 Nuclear Medicine Honours Professional Entry Practice 1, and RADY 4043 Nuclear Medicine Professional Entry Practice 1. These courses, offered in 2024 and 2025, emphasize clinical practice, studies, and professional entry preparation, supporting the development of skilled practitioners in the field.

Guerrero's research and publications center on advancing nuclear medicine education, paediatric patient care, diagnostic imaging techniques, pharmacology in medical radiation sciences, and access to ultrasound services in rural and remote areas. Her most recent work, "Perceptions of pharmacology education and assessment among medical radiation science students at one Australian university: A cross-sectional survey" (Radiography, 2026), co-authored with Janetzki, Arruzza, Blefari, Petito, and Ward, provides survey-based insights into student experiences. In 2025, she contributed to "Piloting a paediatric nuclear medicine colouring-in book in Australia and New Zealand" (Journal of Medical Imaging and Radiation Sciences), with Mangelsen, Holman, and Jones, introducing tools to improve paediatric patient engagement. The 2024 publication "A simulated clinic to build interprofessional and authentic learning opportunities for shaping future practice in medical radiation professionals" (Journal of Medical Imaging and Radiation Sciences), with Giles, explores simulation-based interprofessional education. Additional key papers include "Diagnostic test accuracy of imaging modalities for adults with acute pulmonary embolism: a systematic review and meta-analysis" (Journal of Medical Imaging and Radiation Sciences, 2022) with Ransome, Dizon, and Chau; "Availability and use of antenatal point-of-care ultrasound services within rural South Australian health care" (Australian Journal of Rural Health, 2022) with Doig, Bidner, Dizon, Bezak, and Parange; "Exploring the availability and impact of antenatal point-of-care ultrasound services in rural and remote communities: a scoping review" (Australasian Journal of Ultrasound in Medicine, 2019) with Doig, Dizon, and Parange; "Sociodemographic disparities in mammography screening in Australia" (Frontiers in Clinical Medicine, 2015) with Stanton and Mwanri; and "Global maternal and child health outcomes: the role of obstetric ultrasound in low resource settings" (World Journal of Preventive Medicine, 2013) with Stanton and Mwanri. Previously affiliated with the University of South Australia in the Allied Health and Human Performance Academic Unit, Guerrero has also participated in nuclear medicine workforce initiatives.
