Ohio is one of the best states in which to get an education in radiologic technology, with a large number of varying degree programs, many of which are affiliated with teaching hospitals.

([Leer esta información en español](https://radiologyed.org/es/ohio/))

The median salary for radiologic technologists in Ohio is well above the average household income for Ohio residents, meaning that this state is also a great place to obtain work in the radiologic sciences after earning a degree.

A Radiologist in Ohio is responsible for using diagnostic imaging technologies such as X-rays, CT scans, ultrasounds, and MRI scans to help diagnose illnesses or diseases in patients. They must also be able to correctly position patients for the correct angle of imaging view and ensure that any images taken are properly processed and interpreted. Additionally, radiologists may also be required to explain the results of imaging tests to patients and their families.

## Radiology Requirements in Ohio

The first step towards becoming a radiologic technologist in Ohio is obtaining an associate’s degree in radiologic technology from a college or university. This program typically lasts two years, and includes courses in radiologic physics, anatomy and physiology, patient care procedures, ethics and law, and technical imaging.

Radiologist assistants, radiologic technologists, nuclear medicine practitioners, radiation therapists, and fusion imaging technicians must all pass the appropriate state or national exam in order to practice in Ohio. The [American Registry of Radiologic Technologists](https://www.arrt.org/) (ARRT) oversees the exam for all fields except nuclear medicine, which is overseen by the [Nuclear Medicine Technology Certification Board (NMTCB)](https://www.nmtcb.org/).

[Limited scope X-ray technicians](https://radiologyed.org/careers/medical-assistant-with-limited-x-ray/) do not need to pass the ARRT exam if they have successfully completed a state-approved certification program. 24 hours of continuing education credits every two years are required for all fields except limited license, which must complete six, and radiology assistants, who must complete 50.

## Significant Employers in Radiology

Ohio has many large medical centers and hospitals, which employ radiologic technologists in technical, supervisory, and often even teaching positions if they are affiliated with radiologic technology degree programs.

## Accredited Radiology Tech Programs in Ohio: 2026 Guide

Ohio has 25 JRCERT-accredited radiography programs – more than most states in the Midwest – spread across community colleges, technical colleges, university campuses, and hospital-based schools. That breadth matters because program tuition in Ohio ranges from just over $4,000 at Lorain County Community College to more than $22,000 at Kettering College, and the clinical network behind each school varies just as dramatically. If you live in Canton, Columbus, Toledo, or a rural county in between, there is almost certainly an accredited program within a reasonable commute. This guide covers what those programs cost, how they perform, what Ohio requires for licensure, and what to look for before you apply.

## Ohio Radiographer Salary Data

According to BLS May 2025 OEWS data, Ohio employs 9,570 radiologic technologists and technicians (SOC 29-2034), with a median annual salary of $78,320 and a mean of $76,890. The spread across the career is meaningful: the 10th percentile sits at $60,360, the 25th at $64,950, the 75th at $82,430, and the 90th at $98,450. Entry-level positions typically land in the $60,000-$65,000 range; experienced technologists in high-volume hospital settings can push past $82,000.

Ohio’s cost of living runs below the national average in most metro areas, which stretches that salary further than the same number would in California or Massachusetts. Cleveland, Columbus, and Dayton all sit comfortably below national average housing costs, and smaller markets like Lima, Portsmouth, and Zanesville are considerably cheaper still. A $78,320 median income in Mansfield or Marietta affords a quality of life that the same figure would not in a coastal city.

Career progression matters here. Technologists who add advanced modality credentials – particularly MRI – see a substantial salary increase. BLS May 2025 OEWS data shows MRI technologists (SOC 29-2035) in Ohio earn a median of $87,670, a mean of $87,950, and a 90th percentile of $101,860. That $9,000-$10,000 median gap between general radiography and MRI reflects exactly the kind of credential-stacking that Ohio programs are positioned to support: several schools in the state offer MRI programs as a direct progression from a radiography credential.

## Ohio Licensing Requirements for Radiologic Technologists

Ohio does not currently require state licensure for radiologic technologists as a mandatory condition of employment in all settings – but this is an area where requirements are worth verifying at the time you graduate, as state legislation has been an active topic in recent years. [VERIFY: current Ohio licensure statute status and whether HB or SB changes have taken effect as of mid-2026]

What is consistent and required across essentially all Ohio employers is ARRT certification. To sit for the ARRT Radiography (R) examination, graduates must complete an accredited program (JRCERT accreditation satisfies this), document clinical competencies, and meet the ARRT’s ethics requirements. All 25 programs listed on this page are JRCERT-accredited and qualify their graduates to apply for the ARRT exam. Some Ohio hospital systems – particularly within the Cleveland Clinic and OhioHealth networks – require ARRT certification as a condition of hire, so your pass rate on that exam is not a formality.

Graduates planning to work in Ohio facilities that serve pediatric patients, VA patients, or imaging within an accredited cancer program may encounter additional credentialing expectations at the employer level. Confirm current employer requirements directly with HR during the application process.
