A radiologic technologist and a radiologist are not the same thing. A rad tech is the one who takes the x-rays; a radiologist is a doctor who interprets the images.

Radiology is a much wider field these days. You can specialize in nuclear medicine and do MRIs, cardiac MRI, CTs, etc. No doubt in the larger cities you will stay busy. My wife works for a major company in Austin, TX and they schedule some form of xray 100s of times a day, 5 days a week. I used to develop the xrays myself. Not much fun. You are in the dark most of the time.
