Can you become a veterinary radiologist without becoming a veterinarian?

No, a veterinary radiologist is a veterinarian who has gone through even MORE specialized training after they have graduated from vet school (typically a minimum of 4 years additional training). As someone else mentioned, frequently it is the veterinary technician who actually positions the animal and takes the radiograph. Thus to take radiographs, you could go to technician school. But to interpret the radiographs, you must be a veterinarian.
