for diagnostic rad, how good do u have to be in physics and math? I took calc 3 in college (the class that covers chapter 10-15 of calculus book) and had two semesters of calc-based physics. however, my E&M skills were weak and calc 3 similarly sucked. do you have to do all those weird equations, etc? thanks.

You don't need to be good in college physics to do clinical radiology.

You don't need to be good in college physics to do clinical radiology.

You will learn the necessary level of physics to pass the radiology physics boards and practice clinical radiology during your residency. Although the background baseline knowledge of physics helps, it is not really that complicated to learn the basics of imaging physics. Most residencies have a course or will give you time to study physics before the boards.

do u have to be an anatomy wiz or do u learn as u go? i can't remember much after taking it. insertions? origins? yikes....
