Does the algorithm look for the first advanced radiology match and then defer to preliminary match, or does it look for the first full match? what i mean is, if i match at my first choice radiology but go unmatched at my prelim, will it then defer to my second choice radiology and keep going until it finds a full two-program match?
 
No, it will not keep going until you match for both. You will in that situation match advanced and have to scramble for a prelim spot. There are always left over prelim surgery spots.
