I think what is unclear is the differentiation the source text makes between 'curso' and 'carrera'. Can you provide the entire sentence and give us more context, please? Strictly speaking a specialist in diagnostic imaging is a radiologist which is a specialist physician. However, there are diagnostic imaging assistants in the radiology department at least in the UK. Is the source text referring to a radiologist or an assistant? This background information would be useful to get the right translation, Cheers, Aida

In Argentina, when you are studying at university, you are doing a course of studies to obtain a degree. When you finally graduate and obtain that degree, you start your career as a professional. In this case, the person has already finished the course of studies at university and is starting a new one, a postgraduate course of studies. If this person finishes the course, s/he will gain the degree of Medical Specialist in Diagnostic Imaging. I think this specific course lasts four years, like a graduate course of studies, such course appears within the list of specializations (Especializaciones). I believe that is the point. I attach the link where I found the postgraduate course of studies.

creo que puede tener que ver con el hecho de que la carrera de Medicina tenga una duración de más de 7 u 8 años y que entonces se considera ya que pasa a ser un posgrado.
Me pillas desconectando de la red. Pero creo que puedes encontrar explicaciones de este estilo.
Carrera puede ser tanto el plan de estudios universitarios que conduce a un título como la trayectoria profesional completa.
Quizá se trata de un uso que quede algo entre medias, una especialización que supone un título equivalente a la carrera.
