Richard’s Answer

Radiology is a good field with great job market.

A radiologist is an MD who went to 4 years of college, 4 years of medical school, 1 year of internship, 4 years of radiology residency and an optional 1 year of fellowship.

Radiology technologists have either a 2 year associate's degree or 4 year bachelor's degree

s’s Answer

I would concur with Jonah's answer.
Radiologists are MDs.
Their residency programs are usually 4 years (that's after a bachelor's degree from college).

Radiology is a profession, not a trade, I believe.
