A new survey by the American Medical Group Association (AMGA) shows diagnostic radiologists in group practices remain among the highest-paid specialists in the United States. Not only did diagnostic radiologists enjoy strong compensation increases in 2003, but also, over the past four years, they have seen larger percentage and dollar increases than any of the other 27 medical specialties studied.
In 2003 the median compensation for a diagnostic interventional radiologist was $410,250?the second highest in the survey. Cardiac/thoracic surgeons took the top spot at $416,896. In 2002, median income for a diagnostic interventional radiologist was at $401,000, slightly higher than the $400,500 reported for cardiac/thoracic surgeons.
Diagnostic non-interventional radiologists maintained fifth-ranked status in median compensation in 2003 at $345,619, behind catheter lab cardiologists ($368,938) and orthopedic surgeons ($354,495).

Radiologist are one of the highest paid becuase their are less of them. Basically the medical board decids how many radiologist fellowships are offered so we have less radiologist in US also its one of the most competitve fields to get into. We have a family friend who makes 1M+
