see many radiologists get radio fellowships in USA if they have done 3 years degree program, if your is diploma then I'm not sure. if you want to do radio residency in USA then
1. you need very good scores atleast 95+(sorry to sound harsh but the fact of the matter is these days even AMGs applying to radio have 99, 99, so its difficult for FMGs)
2. spend 1 year doing research in an FMG friendly program, pros are they can give you good LORs, and your chances of matching to the same program are higher.
3. keep a back up. like IM, nuc med, peds, whatever.
4. If you have GC OR CITIZENSHIP THEN YOU ARE IN RELATIVELY FAVORABLE POSITION.

You're welcome!
Had I been you I will go for fellowship and then eventually ABR certification. it has some requirements like
you have to do 4 years at one institution and have to clear American Radiology boards, bottomline is you can bypass the residency pathway. for more refer to http://theabr.org/DR_IMG.htm
yes you get a stipend usually PGY5, its a paid fellowship.

Programs do look at you favorably if you have done a residency in Radiology....I would suggest you try for a fellowship after your residency, because not many AMGs go for fellowships, mainly because of the loan and want to earn money. Go to American college of radiology website and see their requirements....I think you get a license to practice after 2 years of fellowship and passing their boards.....and offcourse no matter how good you are you will still have to take USMLE's.....try getting that out of the way while you are still frsh..other that that just pray and hope for the best....RAdiology is very competetive......also look for FRCR...you just have to pass the exam and you get Royal college certification.
