Hello,
To determine if images are satisfactory for diagnostic purposes you should be an excellent radiographer who studies types of medical imaging (ultrasound, conventional x ray, fluoroscopy, CT, MRI, and nuclear medicine techniques).
He or she should have a good overview of the physics of each imaging modality, and should know the principles of each machine and how to operate it.
But to evaluate medical images to get diagnoses you have to be a radiologist. Then, you have to study medicine at first.

A radiologist is a physician who has many years of education and training. He or she is the one who interprets the images.
A radiographer/ Rad Tech / Radiologic Technologist / x ray tech is the one who takes the images.
Both require education and taking boards and getting licensing nationally and on a state level.
I hope this helps

I think the best thing you should do is write a National Society for Radiologists or Radiological Science and they probably can point you in the right direction to start getting all of your questions answered. It will be like putting a small puzzle together but it will be well worth it and you have to be diligent about finding all of your answers so you can start getting enrolled in the program(s) to be a radiologist. The radiologist can sit down in an 8 hour day but the tech stands up all day and there is a big difference in the money you will make.

Hello Julian!!!!!! First of all, to become a Radiologist (Medical Radiologist - Technologist in Radiology), you must enjoy human anatomy and study medicine so that during your period of residence you can choose which area to follow. However, for a Radiology Technologist, or professional, he must be able to develop any area in which he wants to work, such as Radio-X, Computed Tomography, Magnetic Resonance, Nuclear Medicine, Hemodynamics and similar, areas that include Medical Radiology.
