To be the Radiographer - the professional who is trained in performing diagnostic procedures - can take either 2 or 4 years.
To be the Radiologist - the professional who is trained in interpreting diagnostic (and sometimes therapeutic) procedures takes: 1) a 4-year college degree, 2) 4 years of medical school and 3) a 4 or 5 year residency program. After taking and passing the national board exams, most go on to a 1+ year fellowship in a particular specialty.
So it's college, med school, residency.
