Short Biographies
Professor Euclid Seeram, PhD, MSc, BSc, FCAMRT: Dr. Seeram serves as honorary senior lecturer at the University of Sydney, and a member of the Medical Image Optimization and Perception Group (MIOPeG)-Faculty of Health Sciences; adjunct associate professor at Monash University-Medicine, Nursing, and Health Sciences; adjunct professor at Charles Sturt University-Faculty of Science; and Adjunct Associate Professor-Faculty of Health, University of Canberra; in Australia. He has published more than 50 papers in professional radiologic technology journals and has had 20 textbooks published on computed tomography, computers in radiology, radiographic instrumentation, digital radiography, and radiation protection. He is a founding member of the Journal of Medical Imaging and Radiation Sciences and is now on editorial boards for Radiography, an International Journal of Medical Imaging and Radiation Therapy; Biomedical Imaging and Intervention Journal, and Open Journal of Radiology, Journal of Allied Health; Journal of Social Science & Allied Health Professions, and serves on the international advisory panel for the Journal of Medical Radiation Sciences. His current research interests are related to radiation dose optimization in computed tomography and digital radiography imaging systems, as well as in radiation protection related to diagnostic imaging.
Meghan Oetelaar, MRT(R), RTR, CTIC: Meghan Van den Oetelaar graduated with honours from her Advanced Diploma in Medical Radiation Technology through Fanshawe College. During her training at University Hospital in London, she realized her passion for teaching while mentoring new students in the hospital. This spiked her commitment to enhance her knowledge through continuing education and share information with others throughout her career. She currently works at Royal Victoria Regional Health Centre, specializing in Computed Tomography while also working in General Radiography, Fluoroscopy and the Operating Room. She provides lessons in Computed Tomography for the students in order to better prepare them for their clinical experience and enrich their knowledge. Meghan strongly believes in the importance of continuous professional development and has paired with VCA education to be able to assist in this with other Medical Radiation Technologist’s.
Khadanand Niure, MRT(R), CTIC, ADT: Khadanand a CTIC-certified and CMRITO registered Medical Radiation Technologist with 15 years of work experience in Diagnostic Imaging, especially in the CT imaging modality. He worked in this field for five years in Nepal and ten years in Canada. He is currently working as CT Technologist at Credit Valley Hospital, where he also guide MRT students from universities. He was also involved with the Nepal Radiological Society as a Secretary on the executive committee of 2010. He was working with Nepalese professionals for possible changes in upgrading the skills and knowledge of MRTs. In addition, he delivered presentations at Health Force Ontario for international MRTs guiding them to prepare for the CAMRT exam. Moreover, he was in a research program from BioClinica about good radiographic practice for Acquiring Images for Osteoarthritis in Pfizer Clinical trials. Khadanand is passionate about sharing my skills and is interested in participating in academic activities.
