Answers:
Yeah, I think basically you need to achieve a degree in medicine, afterwards radiology as well. I don't have a very thorough reading, so don't trust me on that.

Good luck! I hope you do well.

Having your mind set on a specialty until that time even making it into medical school is about as cute as a 10 year old aphorism that they want to be a doctor when they want to grow up. Keep your mind open.
