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.
Ora ana sing bisa diverifikasi.
Ora ana watesan umur, nanging kudu umure minimal 18 taun.
Ora ana wektu payback - ora ana angka biaya kanggo mbayar maneh. Premium iku ing ngisor iki.
Nanging, ora ana bukti sing bisa dikonfirmasi manawa ana hubungane karo crita iki.
Kenapa ora ana angka biaya ing kene
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.
Apa ana wong kang duwe iki, lan apa ana wong kang kerja ing lapangan
Nomor kang dipisahake déning angka bayar
Saka 371,444 people holding at least one ARRT credential counted in 2026, federal employment records account for 308,030 working in the occupations it is for — 82.9%. Sing ninggalake 63,414 pemegang iku ora ngitung kanggo.

Apa sing kalebu ing hitungan: 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.

Apa kode program iku nglindhungi: 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.
Siapa ing kohort: completers kang nampa bantuan mahasiswa federal - kira-kira setengah saka mahasiswa AS, lan setengah liyane ora diukur ing kene. Wong sing pindhah kanggo sinau luwih iku ing salah siji kolom. Departemen nyegah institusi karo cohorts banget cilik kanggo publikasi lan nambah swara statistik kanggo sisa, supaya iki jumlah ing institusi cukup gedhe kanggo laporkan: 487 saka wong-wong mau, recovery 84.6% saka Departemen dhewe count nasional kanggo program iki.

Apa sing sampeyan butuhake sadurunge miwiti
- An ARRT-recognised educational programme
- Documented clinical competency requirements
- An ethics review — ARRT screens convictions individually
Aja nindakake iki yen
- 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
