Conclusion
Radiology incomes are often misunderstood, and the financial realities of the field do not support the common belief that radiologists earn significantly more than their peers in other medical disciplines.
Supporting Evidence

- Most radiologists earn between Rs. 1 and 6 lakhs per month.
- Starting a radiology practice requires significant capital investment.
Takeaway
People think radiologists make a lot of money because of expensive machines, but the truth is, starting a radiology practice costs a lot, and most radiologists earn about the same as other doctors.
