<p>I'm thinking about malpractice, taxes, etc.</p>
<p>As much a he wants. He gets a cut of every x-ray and mri taken at a given facility. He just needs to fee split with the other docs to get more pictures.</p>
<p>I use salary.com’s wizard for these sorts of things.</p>

<p>Punch in the field (in this case “Physician Radiology”) and the desired zip code.</p>
<p>Well a radiologist in the middle of Wyoming may not make as much as one in the bustle of LA or NYC. Plus it depends on where they’re working, and how big the practice is.</p>
<p>But I’ve heard many make like 400k+, which is why its so cut throat to get into it’s residenacy</p>
<p>I don’t know the specifics for radiology, but in general physicians make LESS in big cities, not more.</p>

<p>BDM is right, physicians get offered more by hospitals in rural areas. People don’t want to live there.</p>
<p>Our government offers a more accurate representation of actual salaries

<p>Radiologic technologists take X-rays and administer nonradioactive materials into patients’ bloodstreams for diagnostic purposes. Person interested in this field can earn good. There is good career in this field.</p>
<p>On average, the best I’ve heard is around $350K/yr for diagnostic radiologists and around $400K/yr for interventional (e.g. radiation oncology). Interventional radiologists do have to go through an additional 2-year fellowship to sub-specialize, during which they make about $70K/year.</p>
<p>The averages dont mean much because there is such a wide range of salaries, which for radiologists ranges anywhere from $200K to $1 million. It’s just better to know the important trends of which ones get paid more or less and decide which type of work, environment, and lifestyle best suits you:</p>
<p>-academic radiologists make less than private ones, especially those at prestigious universities
-those working in rural areas make more than those in popular urban areas
-those who work more hours/week make more than those who work less, simply because they see more patients and thus can bill the insurance companies more times.
-those who own a private practice or work as part of one make more than those working at larger hospitals
-the radiologists that have longer working experience will make more than those just starting.
-those in areas where malpractice insurance is cheaper or have it paid for by their employer will make a bit more</p>

<p>Correction: Interventional radiology and radiation oncology are separate fields.</p>
