I'm not certain what you mean by "diagnostic radiology"--that could mean either that you want to become a radiologic technologist (one who creates X-rays and nuclear medicine studies), or that you want to become a board-certified radiologist, an MD or DO who interprets the x-rays, MRI scans, etc.
Radiologic technologists are produced by four-year and two-year colleges everywhere. Pick a part of the nation where you think you'd like the weather and lifestyle and go there.
To become a radiologist, you'd need first to complete a four-year degree, then complete medical college and an internship to earn your license for practice of general medicine, then another period in medical school specifically to specialize in radiology with another internship and state board exams for that license.
The four-year degree leading to radiology might be pre-medicine. However, medical colleges in the USA say that they like their students to be well-rounded scholars, so if you major in pre-med then you should use electives to take a wide range of humanties and social studies--or you could major in anything, but ensure that you use electives to cover all of the math/science courses that the pre-med majors will take.

Registered nurses (RNs) constitute the largest health care occupation, with 2.6 million jobs. About 60 percent of RN jobs are in hospitals. Three typical educational paths to registered nursing are a bachelor's degree, an associate degree, and a diploma from an approved nursing program; advanced practice nurses—clinical nurse specialists, nurse anesthetists, nurse-midwives, and nurse practitioners—need a master’s degree. Overall job opportunities are expected to be excellent, but may vary by employment and geographic setting; some employers report difficulty in attracting and retaining an adequate number of RNs. Radiology nurses provide care to patients undergoing diagnostic radiation procedures such as ultrasounds, magnetic resonance imaging, and radiation therapy for oncology diagnoses. Earnings of RNs vary by the regions of the nations and the types of services provided by nurses. Median annual wages of registered nurses were $62,450 in May 2008. The middle 50 percent earned between $51,640 and $76,570. The lowest 10 percent earned less than $43,410, and the highest 10 percent earned more than $92,240.:
