Sifa ya Kustahili
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.
Hakuna kiasi chochote cha bei kilichothibitishwa.
Hakuna hata urefu wa mazoezi mmoja ▶ yawekwa na serikali.
Hakuna gharama ya kulipa gharama ya kulipa, na malipo yako chini.
Mahali ambapo tarakimu iliyo juu haingeweza kuthibitishwa hatuchapishi hata kidogo.
Kwa nini hakuna gharama hapa
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.
Ni watu wangapi walio na maoni hayo, na ni wangapi wanaofanya kazi shambani
Idadi ya mshahara inaondoka
Wa Iram, wenye majumba marefu? 371,444 people holding at least one ARRT credential ilihesabiwa 2026, Rekodi za kazi za serikali za serikali zinaonyesha kwamba 308,030 Kufanya kazi katika shughuli mbalimbali ni kwa ajili ya faida ya faida 82.9%. Hilo laondoka 63,414 Hauna lawama kwa hayo.
Pengo hilo ni la juu, si kiwango cha ukosefu wa kazi ya kuajiriwa. Kushikilia hati za habari si sawa na kutafuta kazi kwa ajili ya kazi.
Pande zote mbili zinaonwa kuwa muhimu. Wenye kushikilia tarehe moja dhidi ya kuajiriwa katika kipindi cha wakati cha aina ileile, hiyo ndiyo sababu pekee ya wote wawili kuweza kugawanywa.
Hesabu hiyo inahusisha nini?: 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.
Denonator: people holding at least one ARRT credential = 371,444 (Standing count of people holding the credential, ARRT census, last updated July 2026) · ARRT, Credential Statistics by Location and Discipline census · maoni
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.
Kilichowapata watu waliomaliza mazoezi hayo
Miaka minne baada ya kukamilisha programu ya kompyuta ya ▶, si kwa ajili ya kazi hii pekee
ya 29,788 Ambao walifanya kazi kwa bidii. Allied health diagnostic and treatment, associate's degree Wala hawakuwa wenye kughafilika na yale ya baadaye. 1,226 Na lau kuwa si fadhila juu yake mngeli kusanya watu, 4.1%. Wale waliokuwa wakifanya kazi walipata umaarufu $65,389, Na baina ya makundi mawili hayo patakuwa pa katikati. $46,431 na $84,999.
faida za kupata kazi zote, Bradton, si kazi ya kuajiriwa ya 1725. Hatua ni kukosekana kwa rekodi yoyote ya mshahara na mapato yoyote chanya ya kazi ya mwaka mzima. Hakuna aliyeulizwa kama wanataka kazi, kwa hiyo idadi inashikilia watu walioacha kazi kwa kuchagua kulea watoto, kutunza, kusafiri, kuishi kwa mapato ya mtu mwingine, kuhamia nchi nyingine pamoja na kila mtu aliyetaka kazi na ambao hawana. Hakuna mtu anayetangaza kujigawanya na hatutakisia. Ni kwa namna gani watu wengi walikuwa wamemaliza mazoezi haya na hawakuchuma chochote kutoka kwa miaka minne au kitu chochote kile chochote, ambacho huwezi kusema juu ya kiasi kilicho juu ya juu.
Na tarakimu hiyo haihusu kazi hii moja kwa moja. Serikali ya serikali huchapisha matokeo ya programu hiyo kwa kiwango cha nne cha uungwaji mkono na siyo kwa ubora, na programu hizo za msingi zinaweka sheria zake pamoja na wengine.
Kile ambacho mfumo huo wa programu hufunika: 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.
Ambao wanapanda nyoyoni. Wauzaji wa vitabu waliopokea misaada ya wanafunzi wa serikali sio safu. Idara inadhibiti taasisi zenye ni ndogo sana kuweza kuchapisha na kuongeza kelele za takwimu kwa wale wengine, kwa hiyo hii ni kiasi cha fedha juu ya taasisi kubwa kiasi cha kutaarifu: 487 Katika hao, wanazidisha idadi. 84.6% ya Idara hiyo yenyewe. Kupunguza programu ndogo zaidi za kuripoti hufanya kiwango hicho kiongezeke kwa 0.1 Asilimia yataja.

Malipo ni ya kazi, si ya matajiri, bali ni kazi unazostahili kufanya.

Je, inajilipia?
Kazi hii ya kufungulia inaleta faida $80,110, dhidi ya chombo cha habari cha wafanyakazi kilicho na uzito mkubwa $50,020 katika kila kazi tunachapisha malipo ya kutosha $30,090 Hatuwezi kubadili hiyo kuwa kipindi cha malipo, kwa sababu hakuna tarakimu inayoaminika kwa gharama ya kupata nusu ya hesabu hiyo ni halisi na iliyochapishwa, na nusu ile nyingine ambayo hatuna.
Soma andiko hilo ili ulinganishe kazi yako na kazi ya kawaida, bali si kazi yako. Msingi huo ni nini, na kile kinachoacha
Na inakufanya upoteze kazi hiyo. Kila mtu anayelipwa mshahara mdogo kwenye tovuti hii ana masharti ya kukodiwa ndani ya kazi hiyo. Hayo ni dhana ya kwamba idadi ya watu wenye sifa mbaya iko juu ya kupimwa, na ni dhana ya kila uwanja wa malipo ambayo kila uwanja mwingine hufanya kazi kimya - kimya.
Unachohitaji kabla ya kuanza
- An ARRT-recognised educational programme
- Documented clinical competency requirements
- An ethics review — ARRT screens convictions individually
Msipo fanya hivi itakuwako fitna katika nchi,
- 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
