Refer to the American Board Of radiology website and go to the IMG section. Rules are explained there. If you do Fellowships for 4 years/Fellowship+ faculty position combined for 4 years you are eligible to appear for Boards.

First u'll need to be accepted into a Fellowship then u'll have to work your way into a faculty post. Not easy at all. The other option is to try for a residency where u have a curriculum and will surely give the Boards at some point of time.
