I know this question is asked often but i am very interested in pursuing it. What is the difference between a tech and a radiologist. Does one take more education then the other. How many years of college would i need to take. Should i get a degree in general education and the radiology or just a two year for radiology. What exactly is your daily routine and how much do you get paid. What kind of things do you have to acheive to get a better salary in the field.

Radiology is one of the fastest expanding fields of medicine right now. Radiologists have always looked at various scans and tomograms, but now they also do various types of procedural work and non-invasive treatments.
The big difference is that Radiologists are M.D.s and techs are not. Radiology typically requires four years college, four years medical school, and four years residency. The typical resident gets 40-45 thousand dollars annually.
The typical day is hard to outline since there are so many subdisciplines in the field. Typical payment is a few hundred thousand dollars annually.
