Jeremy Cullinan

SAHMRI Facility Fellow

Jeremy graduated as a Diagnostic Radiographer at the end of 1996. After starting in private practice, he quickly moved into paediatric imaging at the Women’s & Children’s Hospital, where he trained in CT and angiography, and developed skills in RIS, PACS, and teleradiology. Following postgraduate studies in computing science, Jeremy joined an imaging startup that developed CT postprocessing and telemedicine systems, as well as distributing PACS and DR systems.

He then returned to the largest private practice in the country as the Clinical IT Manager, where he upgraded the RIS and implemented a practice-wide distributed PACS system, the largest in the southern hemisphere. After five years, Jeremy decided to return to clinical radiography, moving to Flinders Medical Centre as a Senior Radiographer. There, he continued working in CT, trained in MRI, and led the Emergency Department Medical Imaging team. During this time, he enhanced his skills in trauma, neuro, and cardiac (MR and CT) imaging, while continuing to specialize in paediatrics across all modalities.

After 13 years at FMC, Jeremy was approached to establish a new private practice at Flinders Private Hospital, which he managed for two years. He expanded the service to include breast imaging, fluoroscopy, and interventional services, as well as Cardiac CT. He also helped secure space to implement an MRI service, tripling the department’s footprint.

Jeremy then transitioned to the industry side, becoming a Clinical Consultant in Enterprise Informatics, providing leadership and expertise in radiology, cardiology, and pathology information systems, including clinical AI applications. During his last 18 months at Philips, he served as the Lead Clinical Consultant for EI in the Asia Pacific region.

In September 2024, Jeremy took up the role of Research Radiographer at SAHMRI in the Preclinical Imaging and Research Laboratories (PIRL). There, he conducts a range of preclinical research imaging on various animal models using MRI, CT, PET-CT, angiography, fluoroscopy x-ray, and ultrasound, particularly in the areas of cardiac intervention, brain injury and stroke, spinal cord injury, and fetal-maternal cardiovascular and respiratory medicine.
