Yes you can study Radiology even if you don't have advanced Maths. Radiology need more Science like Biology, Physics and Chemistry not so much Maths.

Maths is useful for some Physics ideas but you don't need it to study Radiology.

Usually students who want to do Radiology choose Science stream with Physics, Chemistry and Biology (PCB). These subjects give basic knowledge to understand medicine and help for later Radiology or other medical study.

Also other than school marks doing practice work in hospitals, helping as volunteer or even watching doctors work can make your learning better and help for future.

No Radiology graduates are not considered a doctor.  Radiology graduates are only professionals who operate the machines and not prescribe medicines to patients. 

To become a doctor, candidates go for MBBS and go through a tough curriculum of medicine education.
