I am currently enrolled to become a radiology technician. Are there any options as far as specializing after getting my degree? Are additional classes usually required?

In other words, what do these jobs require? Do they have a high level of patient interactions? or do they talk directly with doctors, nurses, or none of the above? Do they do billing/ insurance work? or do they just read their respective machines? Please don't leave urls with hidden destinations. If it's a legit place, just give key words and I can search. Thanks.

I am going to start a program soon for a Limited X Ray Techninican/ Back Office Medical Assistant. The more I've researched the less this sounds like a good idea. I live near San Diego and haven't found many X Ray schools. Does anyone know where I would go to get the complete licenesing after I get the limited scope? Thanks In advance... Also I am paying about 23,000 for this program which is a year long. Does this seem reasonable?
