No, Radiology is not considered a paramedical field. Paramedical fields typically involve healthcare professions that support medical professionals, such as nurses, medical assistants, and paramedics. 

Radiology, on the other hand, is a medical speciality that focuses on the use of medical imaging techniques to diagnose and treat diseases and injuries.

Radiologists are highly trained medical doctors who specialize in interpreting medical images such as X-rays, CT scans, MRIs, and ultrasounds to provide diagnoses and guide patient care. They undergo extensive medical education and residency training to become experts in their field.
