After completing a B.Sc. in Radiology and Imaging Technology, you cannot directly study Orthopedics as a surgeon, because Orthopedics is a specialised branch of MBBS, not allied health. However, you can pursue PG diplomas or certifications in Orthopedic Radiography, Bone Densitometry, or even assist in orthopedic procedures as an imaging technologist. If you're deeply interested in orthopedics as a doctor, you'd need to do MBBS first, then specialize in MS Orthopedics.

Hate to break it to you, but no, you can't do MD/MS in Orthopedics after a B.Sc in Radiology. That's strictly for MBBS grads. With a B.Sc, you can still do PG in Radiology or Imaging Tech, or specialize in CT, MRI, etc. You can work with orthopedic teams as a radiology expert, but not as an orthopedic doctor. TL;DR: To be an ortho doc, do MBBS first. No shortcuts.
