<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>
