Hi. Here's my advice:
ICT and Bio (especially) are good subjects. For radiology, you ideally should also take as many as you can of physics, maths and chemistry. Physics isn't very mathematical-based at AS but it is difficult so you will have to work very hard to get good grades (especially having done core), but it certainly can be done. Chemistry is in my opinion, the hardest A-level out there, but the most beautiful!
I recommend not taking English language, because it is incredibly difficult to get a high grade in (CIE expects you to be nearly a proffesional writer!) and with a C at 2nd lang. IGCSE, you will probably find it quite hard. But if you really want to, it is a good subject to have!
Psychology requires you to have a good memory and good essay/writing skills because at AS, you will have to learn 20 psychological studies by heart. At A-level it gets much more interesting though, but there's a lot of content, which might take up valuable time off other more important subjects.

I don't want to put you off anything, I'm just giving you honest advice :)
(P.S. I did psycho, chem, physics, maths and english at AS, so I know what they're really like!) :)
