    PhD Programs in Radiology

    A PhD is a doctorate degree. PhDs are bestowed upon scholars who have gained an expert level of knowledge in their fields of study. The criteria for earning a PhD can be quite different depending on the discipline that the degree is in and the institution awarding the degree.

    What is a PhD in Radiology? Radiology technicians use X-rays to capture and analyze images of the human body. To do this, they use various types of imaging machines and procedures. They must have a thorough understanding of radiologic physics and technology. Because X-rays are dangerous, radiology technicians receive special training for maintaining a safe environment during the imaging process. They use the images they take to detect abnormalities within the body, such as fractures or abnormal growths. X-ray imaging is a highly important part of the diagnostic process.

    Radiology is one of the fastest growing career fields, with a much higher than average projected job growth rate. This means you can expect to find a job with a comfortable salary relatively easily.

    Differences between schools and countries lead to differences in the costs associated with getting a PhD in Radiology. Contact the schools you are interested in to find out more about their program costs.
