Answers:
A radiologist is a Medical Doctor who reads & analyzes & diagnoses what the X-ray, CT scan or MRI, Radiation,etc!. mean!. 4 years Med school, internship, 3 yrs residency, 1 yr optional fellowship!.

A radiology tech is the person who gives the tests!. They usually have a certificate program!. Google: Radiology technician education requirements!. You would need specialized training for each type of machine!.!.!.not necessarily by diagnosis!.

Time depends on your setting: Hosp!. clinic, MD's office Pretty much day time!. ER time will vary on your shift!.

Sorry, don't know about pay!.
