Yes, Physics plays a significant role in the field of Radiology. While it might seem challenging to some, especially if it's not your favourite subject, having a good understanding of Physics is essential for a career in Radiology. 

Radiology involves the use of various imaging technologies like X-rays, CT scans, MRIs, ultrasounds, etc. Understanding the Physics behind these imaging modalities—how they work, how they interact with the body, the principles of radiation, imaging techniques, and safety protocols—is crucial for accurate diagnosis and patient safety.

No in India doing Radiology after BAMS is not easy to go directly in modern medicine system.

Radiology in modern medicine usually need MBBS or same then do special course in Radiology.

But people who studied Ayurveda or other medicine and want Radiology can try bridge courses or other ways to mix their old knowledge with modern medicine.

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.
