Radiology compensation is more than just radiologist salaries. It also includes radiologic technologist and interventional radiology compensation, along with other subspecialties. Radiology pay incorporates bonuses, incentives, benefits and vacation time.

Members of the specialty should begin their next job with an exit strategy in mind or risk losing a hefty sum in the process, according to a new opinion piece.
In 2024, the average radiologist saw their compensation climb about 7.5%, up to $571,749, behind only pediatric nephrology (15.6%), preventive medicine (10%), and pediatrics/general medicine (8.5%).
