You have to complete your MD. Then generally you do your residency for the first 3 years or so in general radiography. Then as you become proficient at each modality you can choose to specialize in one modality. You can do an additional fellowship in that modality you choose be it nuclear medicine, MRI, ultrasound, or cath lab.
There is also a new emerging profession called Radiologist assistant. This is basically like a physician's assistant, but for radiology. The way I understand it, you basically have all the abilities of a radiologist except for a few invasive procedures and clearing trauma c-spine films. But for a radiologist assistant all you have to do is become a registered radiographer and then the schooling is an additional 2-3 years. I have considered it, but I got a pretty sweet gig for now.

To develop right into a nurse, you would could bypass by skill of faculty observed through nursing college, or some type of mixed software. Radiologists take a a lot longer route. 4 years of undergrad, observed through 4 years of med college. After that, you practice to residency courses and make sure your concentration. Radiology is incredibly sought-after, so that is regularly reserved for the finest of med college scholars.

To become a radiologist you must earn an MD degree before
and to get that you must work and study a lot, once you get your MD degree you must apply for a radiology residency and continue working hard during 4 years then you are there.

Becoming a radiologist takes years of training, and is expensive because of medical school. It is also expensive in the sense that the training period for radiology is longer than for most other medical specialties, and doctors-in-training get paid peanuts. Typical road to radiology is four years of college, four years of medical school, one year of internship, four more years of radiology residency, and anywhere from one to two years of subspecialized fellowship training. You basically spend the first halve of your young adult life in school or training facilities before you land your first job.
