City St George’s radiographer recognised with Fellowship of the College of Radiographers

Dr Christina Malamateniou, Reader (Associate Professor)  in Technology-Enabled Care in Radiography at City St George’s, University of London, has been awarded a Fellowship of the College of Radiographers.

The honorary title recognises those who have made a significant contribution to the radiographic professions. It is the highest honour given by the College, and only four are given out a year, with one traditionally reserved for the outgoing president of the Society of Radiographers.

Dr Malamateniou, who is also Director of the City St George's Research Radiographer Group (CRRAG), has worked as an academic and researcher in medical imaging for over two decades. She began her career as an MRI radiographer at the University Hospital of Athens, where she qualified, before completing her PhD at Imperial College London. Dr Malamateniou is an MRI expert, and leads funded research studies in different topics including AI implementation, AI leadership and digital twins. She was awarded the City Extraordinary Women Award for 2023.

Dr Malamateniou said:

“I am delighted to be among this year's awardees. The Society and College of Radiographers (SCoR) is a reference point for excellence in clinical practice, research and education, and it makes Radiography a profession to be truly proud of and one we want to fight for. I have massively benefitted from advice and support from many SCoR colleagues over the years. SCoR is a moral compass and a beacon of our professional identity. I am really pleased people felt I have given something back to our radiographic community, and it was recognised with the highest honour.

“Our Division has benefitted from guidance by the SCoR members. Our strategic priorities in our research group CRRAG are mapped against the research priorities of SCoR. Our team contributes to many different advisory and working groups in the organisation, and our students and staff have received research funding to kickstart or sustain research capacity building.

“Being a Fellow is a huge honour and responsibility, to uphold the values of integrity, collaboration and excellence established by the SCoR. I am really looking forward to the ceremony in July 2026 to celebrate with colleagues and other SCoR members!”

Professor Natalie Armstrong, Dean of the School of Health & Medical Sciences, said:

“Many congratulations to Christina on being awarded a Fellowship of the College of Radiographers. It is an exceptional honour and a testament to her outstanding contributions to the radiographic profession.”

Dr Malamateniou will be presented with the award in July 2026.
