Terri Gilleece
I qualified with DCR(T) in 1988 from the N.I. School of Therapeutic Radiography and began my career in the Mater Hospital in Newcastle, N.S.W. On returning to Northern Ireland I began working in nuclear medicine and complete the PgD in Radionuclide Imaging at the University of Ulster.
I moved back to Australia in 1992 where I returned to radiotherapy at the Royal Adelaide Hospital. After becoming a member of the Australian & New Zealand Society of Nuclear Medicine I took up a post as Nuclear Medicine Technologist at the Royal Melbourne, a research active department that gave me the encouragement to get involved in many type of research studies. Amongst other things I examined the use of 99mTc-MIBI for the diagnosis of acute chest pain, fractionation and freezing of pharmaceuticals, and ictal/interictal radionuclide imaging in cases of focal epilepsy.
I returned to Northern Ireland and the Royal Victoria Hospital in 1997 where I continued to work in Nuclear Medicine. I studied part-time for an MSc in Computing and Information Systems until 2001 where I developed a web-linked database for the order-dispensing/stock control of radiopharmaceuticals. In 2003 I took up the post of Chief Technologist in PET/CT at the newly formed N.I. PET Institute, however I left in 2004 to accept the post of lecturer at the University of Ulster.
I am currently studying part-time for a PhD examining the cost-utility of PET/CT imaging for cancers.
