69,903 open positions · Updated daily

Diagnostic radiologic technologists are at the forefront of patient care, translating complex imaging protocols into actionable diagnoses. The industry is booming—AI‑driven dose optimization, hybrid interventional suites, and the surge in outpatient imaging centers are driving demand for skilled technologists. Hospitals and imaging networks are hiring at a record pace, and the need for specialists who can operate CT, MRI, PET, and fluoroscopy equipment is higher than ever.

Within the field, technologists specialize in CT, MRI, PET/CT, interventional radiology, and point‑of‑care ultrasound. A typical day includes preparing patients, selecting appropriate imaging sequences, calibrating equipment, monitoring radiation dose, and collaborating with radiologists in real time. Many technologists also perform dose‑reduction audits, maintain PACS/RIS integration, and provide patient education on safety protocols.

Salary transparency gives technologists a clear benchmark for what their skills are worth in different regions and specialties. With open data, you can gauge whether a position’s pay aligns with industry averages, negotiate confidently, and track the impact of new certifications or AI‑tool proficiency on your earning potential.

Which skills and certifications are essential for a Diagnostic Radiologic Technologist?
Core competencies include ARRT or ACR certification, proficiency with DICOM and PACS/RIS systems, radiation safety knowledge (including ALARA principles), patient positioning and immobilization techniques, and familiarity with specific equipment such as GE, Siemens, Philips or Toshiba CT/MRI units. Advanced certifications like BCR, CIRS, or interventional radiology technologist credentials enhance marketability.
Is remote or tele‑reading work possible for Diagnostic Radiologic Technologists?
While image acquisition must occur on‑site, many technologists participate in teleradiology networks that allow remote reporting of images captured at satellite sites. Remote work is common for interventional procedure reports, routine follow‑ups, and AI‑based dose‑optimization audits, often supported by secure VPN connections to the main imaging hub.
What career progression options exist for a Diagnostic Radiologic Technologist?
Typical paths include promotion to senior technologist, imaging department manager, radiation safety officer, clinical educator, or quality‑improvement specialist. Some technologists transition to clinical research coordinator roles focused on imaging trials, or to radiology informatics positions that bridge technology and workflow optimization.
What are the current industry trends affecting Diagnostic Radiologic Technologists?
Key trends include AI‑driven image reconstruction and dose‑reduction algorithms, expansion of hybrid operating rooms combining imaging and surgical capabilities, growth of point‑of‑care ultrasound in emergency and critical care, and increased regulatory emphasis on radiation safety and data security. These developments create new skill demands and opportunities for technologists who stay current with emerging technologies.
