Radiology is one of the highest paying medical specialties. My cousin is one of the radiologists who interprets scans. He makes about $500k per year. Searching online, about $170/hr is average.

- iancmceachern 3y agoYeah but a scan takes one radiology tech 30 mins, then the radiologist does the analysis, again not hours. In surgical procedures all those people have to physically be there for hours
- squeaky-clean 3y agoYes, a properly done full body scan interpretation will take hours. It's about 30 minutes to analyze a scan of just someone's kidneys when there's already symptoms and doctor's note on what to look for. The longest part is often just the paperwork and noting what was not seen.
