Rate My Professor Teresa Cross

Teresa Cross is a Lecturer in Medical Imaging in the College of Health at Adelaide University. She delivers instruction across a variety of medical imaging courses at the Adelaide City Campus East, including Medical Imaging Studies 1 (RADI-2006), Medical Imaging Studies 3 (RADI-3002), CT and PET Imaging (RADI-3011), Medical Imaging Clinical Practice 3 (RADI-4003), and Mammography (RADI-5003). These courses encompass foundational and advanced topics in medical imaging techniques, clinical practice workshops, computed tomography, positron emission tomography, and specialized breast imaging. Her teaching contributions support the training of students in both theoretical knowledge and practical skills essential for medical imaging professionals. Additionally, she is involved in clinical education resources such as Learning Bytes for Supervisors and participates in program activities like the Amazing Race for the Medical Radiations Program.

Teresa Cross contributes to research on ultrasound diagnostics, with a focus on transvaginal ultrasound accuracy for endometriosis detection in Australian settings. She is affiliated with the Allied Health and Human Performance Unit and has co-authored several works, including the peer-reviewed article 'Transvaginal Ultrasound for the Diagnosis of Endometriosis: Current Practices and Barriers in Australian Sonographers' (Australasian Journal of Ultrasound Medicine, 2025). Other publications and presentations include 'Prospective diagnostic test accuracy of uterosacral ligament and torus uterinus endometriosis using transvaginal ultrasound posterior approach' (2023), 'Are sonographers the future 'gold standard' in the diagnosis of endometriosis' (2026), 'What is the accuracy of transvaginal ultrasound for endometriosis mapping prior to surgery when performed by a sonographer within an outpatient women’s imaging centre', 'How long does a transvaginal ultrasound examination for endometriosis take in comparison to a routine transvaginal ultrasound examination', and contributions to systematic reviews on transvaginal ultrasound for deep infiltrating endometriosis. She is eligible to co-supervise Masters and PhD students and features in the Supervisor Guide for the University of South Australia Master of Medical Sonography, providing guidance on clinical supervision for sonographers. Her efforts bridge education, clinical practice, and research to enhance sonography standards.
