WARNING!!!
When choosing a college or university, make sure the institution has a regional accreditation. With a regional accreditation you can be assured the coursework and degree you complete will be recognized by all other colleges and universities as well as employers. Below I have listed the six accrediting agencies and their geographical areas of responsibility. I am disclosing the below so you do not become a victim of educational scams, and institutions that are nothing more than diploma mills, where they are eager to take your money for a degree that is worthless. Make sure the institution is accredited by one of following responsible agencies.

UCSF (Univ of CA at san francisco) is considered the top radiology program in CA. It is considered by many to be the most competitive (although not "the best") to get into in the country. I'm not sure what those previous programs listed were, but they were not radiology residency programs. Perhaps they were radiology technologist training programs. A radiologist is an M.D. who goes through 4 yrs undergrad, 4 years med school, 1 year general internship, 4 years residency and likely 1-3 years fellowship (14-16 yrs post high school) whereas a tech is a two yr program after high school (some prefer a 2-4 yr degree first though I believe).
Diagnostic radiology is used as it's name suggests, for diagnosing problems within the human body without using invasive techniques. Xrays are best used for identifying issues with bones or other dense matter.
I would recommend Juilliard School in New York as the best school for piano.
well i went to school for dental hygiene and sonogram tech i like sonogram better because i don't like going inside people's mouth and being a sonogram tech is much more rewarding and interesting. It depends on you though if you're the type of person who gets grossed out by spit it's not a good job for you i know that sonogram tech makes more than radiology tech and medical assistant but i think maybe sonogram tech and a dental hygienist maybe make about the same amount but sonogram tech is somewhat similar to radiology. But for me i would prefer ultrasound tech it's the perfect career you will make good money and it's in high demand.
not the best but one of the best

DeVry University outside of New York is considered the best school for becoming an MRI technologist. If this is out of the question, 'South University' also appears to be a highly rated online MRI technologist training program.

After your Bachelor's, it's another 4 years this time in medical school to get your M.D. Doctorate of Medicine degree. There are many medical schools all over the country, including CA and NY. Then it's 5 years of internship + radiology residency where you do your radiology training. You do your residency program at a teaching hospital, so that's when you look for the best radiology teaching program.
