Should I Opt for DNB Radiology?

Well this is an often asked question and answer to this is YES, if you are interested in the branch and are unable to get MD Radiology , DNB is a fair bet, slight catch being somewhat lesser passing rate in DNB, although this has improved in last few years.  DNB today for all practical purposes is equivalent to MD even for academic centres. Pay-package wise there is hardly any difference in the private sector. 

Usually, in the first go, people prefer: Delhi, Mumbai and Hyderabad for DNB and also, Bangalore & Pune. Usual places preferred in Delhi are Saftardjung, Gangaram, Stefans, Batra Hospital. INMAS is a fair option as well. In Mumbai people prefer, Jaslok, Hinduja, Lilavati and Breach Candy hospitals. NIMS Hyderabad, Nrayana Hrudalya , Bangalore are also popular choices. Radiology is a good well recognized challenging branch and exciting career option. Happiness quotient for radiologists is usually higher than other counterparts, probably to do with possibility of fixed time lifestyle and fair pay packages.

Also note branches like Radiotherapy and Nuclear medicine, nowadays have much better prospects than past with increasing requirements for both professionals with more cancer hospital and PET centers respectively starting in India.
