Possible to become a radiologist?

[adelaide.emily10]

I doubt i'll be able to get into med and then specialise, is there another way to becoming a radiologist? Do the radiography and medical imaging courses help you to become a diagnostic radiologist? or just a radiographer? Is there any other careers similar to a radiologist?
thanks in advance

AFAIK

Radiographer requires you to do a Medical Imaging Degree (I think Monash and somewhere else?). They are the ones who use the instruments to scan your stomach etc

Radiologist requires a degree in Medicine, and then specializing in Radiology. They will be the ones who determine a course of action for treatment etc
