Hello. I am Deanna Armstrong. I have been a qualified Diagnostic Radiographer and Sonographer for almost 30 years. I’ve had experience in private and public medical imaging centers, scanning patients from the first hours of conception to old age. More recently, I have experienced the corporate world in applications training and sales. I have had an exciting career that has taken me across the globe.
My love of teaching led me to CQU at the beginning of 2023. I am teaching The Physics of Ultrasound and Obstetrics and Paediatrics this year.
