ARRT certification (radiologic technologist)
The national certification behind almost every medical imaging job in the United States — and one of the few where the issuing body publishes how many people hold it, so the gap against employment can actually be seen.
Pa gen okenn valè koute verifye.
Pa gen okenn tanperati ki pi wo pase 0 °C. Li se yon eta ki pa endepandan.
Pa gen peryòd ranbousman — pa gen okenn montan pou peye. Priyorite a se anba a.
Si pa gen okenn chif ki anwo a ka verifye nou pa pibliye okenn pi plis pase yon estimasyon.
Poukisa pa gen okenn chif koute isit la
No cost figure appears here because we could not source one honestly. Federal programme-level data is published at four-digit CIP granularity, and radiography sits inside CIP 51.09 together with respiratory therapy, surgical technology and several other allied-health programmes. Publishing that blended figure as the cost of a radiography education would be a number about something else wearing this page's label, so there is none.
ARRT requires an accredited educational programme, which for the radiography pathway means an associate degree or higher — normally two years full time — plus documented clinical competencies and a national exam.
Certification renews annually and requires 24 hours of continuing education every two years.
Ki kantite moun ki gen sak ki kantite moun ki travay nan jaden an
Nimewo ki pa nan figi salè a
Nan 371,444 people holding at least one ARRT credential Konte nan 2026, Resansman 2010 la 308,030 travay nan travay li se pou yo — 82.9%. Ki kite 63,414 detèktè li pa kont pou.
Sa a se yon limit anwo, pa yon pousantaj desans. Te gen yon kredi se pa menm bagay la kòm chèche pou travay ak li. Gap la gen tout moun ki te deplase nan jesyon, edikasyon, lavant, enspeksyon oswa yon travay ki gen rapò ke dosye done federal anba yon lòt ocupación; tout moun ki te retire oswa kite san yo pa remèt kredi; tout moun ki travay part-time, ajans oswa travay pou tèt yo nan yon fason ke sondaj emplois pa capture; ak tout moun ki te gen li kòm yon dezyèm string pou yon lòt travay. Se konsa, gap la se plafon an sou ki jan anpil moun ki gen eksperyans pa ap travay nan domèn sa a - figi a reyèl se pi ba, e li pa yon kont de nenpòt moun ki se san travay. Ki sa ki pare a fè etabli se gwosè a nan pisin lan ki pibliye figi a peye se silans sou, ki se bagay la pa peye sit wèb montre ou.
De pati yo se kont ki rete. Detentè sou yon dat kont travay nan yon peryòd — menm kalite kantite lajan, ki se sèl rezon ki fè de ka divize nan tout.
Ki sa ki gen ladan kont la: Individuals — not credentials. ARRT publishes both: 371,444 people between them hold 588,615 credentials, because a technologist commonly certifies in more than one modality. 341,659 of them hold the radiography credential. The count includes holders outside the 50 states (Canada 708, other countries 259, military addresses 167); the US states-only subtotal is 369,872. It counts everyone whose credential is current, including people who have stopped working but keep renewing.

The four occupations below are the ones ARRT credentials are for. Some holders work as diagnostic medical sonographers, imaging managers, educators or equipment applications specialists, all of which federal data files elsewhere — which is part of why the unaccounted-for figure is a ceiling rather than a measurement.
Ki sa ki te rive moun ki te fin antrene a?
Kat ane apre yo fin fini — yon chif pou kòd pwogram nan, pa pou travay sa a sèlman
Of 29,788 moun ki te fin Allied health diagnostic and treatment, associate's degree epi yo pa t ap aprann ankò 4 ane pita, 1,226 pa t gen okenn revni sou dosye a nan tout — 4.1%. Sa yo ki te travay te resevwa yon mwayèn de $65,389, ak mwatye mitan ant $46,431 ak $84,999.
“Pa gen okenn revni nan dosye” pa vle di “pa gen travay”. Se yon mezi ki montre pa gen okenn dosye sou salè ak okenn revni ki soti nan travay pou tèt ou pou ane a tout antye. Pa gen moun ki te mande si yo te vle travay, se poutèt sa kont la gen moun ki te kite fòs travay la pa chwa yo — pou yo te ka grandi pitit, pou yo te ka pran swen, pou yo te ka vwayaje, pou yo te ka viv sou revni yon lòt moun, pou yo te ka deplase aletranje — ansanm ak tout moun ki te vle travay men pa t gen okenn travay. Pa gen moun ki pibliye kantite sa a e nou pa pral fè yon deduksyon. Sa li montre se kantite moun ki te fini fòmasyon sa a epi ki pa t ap touche anyen de sa ni de nenpòt lòt bagay pandan kat ane, sa se egzakteman sa kantite salè ki anwo a pa ka di w.
Ak sa a pa se yon siyifikasyon jeneral nan travay sa a. Gouvènman federal la pibliye rezilta pwogram nan yon granulation de kat chif ak pa gen pi bon, ak pwogram sa a kredabl pataje kòd yo ak lòt moun. Se konsa, figi a dekri tout moun ki te konplete nenpòt bagay anba kòd sa a nan nivo sa a, pa sèlman moun ki te ale sou fè sa a travay.
Ki sa kòd pwogram lan kouvri: CIP 51.09 is the broadest code on this page and it is shared. Radiography, respiratory therapy, surgical technology, cardiovascular technology, sonography, perfusion, athletic training and physician assistant studies are all inside it, and the Department publishes no split. At associate level the code is dominated by imaging, respiratory and surgical technology; at master's level by physician assistant programmes, which is why the earnings jump. No figure here is specific to any one of those occupations and it must not be quoted as though it were.
The associate level of this code is dominated by imaging, respiratory therapy and surgical technology together. It is the closest federal measurement to a radiography outcome and it is still not one.
Ki moun ki nan gwoup la: Moun ki te ale sou pou etidye plis yo pa nan nenpòt nan kolòn yo. Depatman an supprime inivèsite ak cohorts twò ti pou pibliye ak ajoute bri statistique a rès la, se konsa sa a se yon kantite lajan sou inivèsite gwo ase pou rapòte: 487 100 nan yo, rekiperasyon 84.6% nan kont nasyonal Depatman an pou pwogram sa a. Dropping pi piti pwogram rapòte deplase pousantaj la pa 0.1 pousan pwen.

Èske li peye pou li?
Travay sa a deblotché peye yon mwayèn de $80,110, kont yon mwayèn travay-pouvwa de $50,020 sou chak travay nou pibliye - yon prim de sou $30,090 Nou pa ka fè sa tounen yon peryòd rekiperasyon, paske pa gen okenn chif ki ka fè konfyans pou sa sa koute pou jwenn li – mwatye nan calcul la se reyèl e li pibliye, e mwatye lòt la nou pa gen.
Li sa a kòm yon konparasyon ak yon travay mwayèn, pa nan travay ou. Ki sa ki se bazline a, ak sa li pa gen ladan
Li pa t' gen okenn travay. Tout figi ranbousman sou sit sa a se kondisyonèl sou yo dwe anboche nan travay la. Sa a se supposition a kredatif-posede kont la anwo egziste pou teste, epi li se supposition a chak lòt sit peye fè san yo pa di anyen.
Ki sa ou bezwen anvan ou kòmanse
- An ARRT-recognised educational programme
- Documented clinical competency requirements
- An ethics review — ARRT screens convictions individually
Pa fè sa si
- you are not prepared to keep certifying — most technologists add modalities over a career, and each is another exam
- you cannot meet the clinical-competency requirements, which need a placement, not just coursework
