Radiology is the branch of science that allows technicians to see what's going on inside.
Careers in radiology require a considerable amount of education and training. Fortunately, many universities offer graduate degrees, postdoctoral studies, residencies and fellowships in diagnostic imaging. No matter where you are in the country, you will be able to find a school well-suited to the needs of a budding radiologist.
Duke University
In Duke's the 3/2 residency program, students receive slightly more than three years of training in general diagnostic radiology and nearly two years of training in a specialized area of radiology. Medical students learn about future radiology training by shadowing the department, shadowing in a private practice, taking elective courses in radiology and attending radiology conferences. Continuing medical education involves seminars for technologists and radiology nurses. Fellowships are offered in nuclear medicine, vascular and interventional radiology, neuroradiology, pediatric radiology, abdominal imaging, breast imaging and cardiothoracic imaging.

Stanford University
It was over a hundred years ago that Stanford's department of radiology began contributing to advances in the fields of medicine and surgical procedures. The department's purpose is to improve health through excellence in three main areas of imaging: education, research and patient care. Distinct programs exist for students falling into four categories: medical students; graduate and postdoctorate students of medical imaging; residents, who receive four years of clinical training; and radiologists, technologists and scientists pursuing more education.
