Growth Outlook:

Employment for Radiologic Technologists is projected to grow 6% from 2024 to 2034, driven by the diagnostic imaging demands of an aging baby-boomer population. As patients age, the incidence of fractures, osteoporosis, and chronic conditions requiring radiographic analysis increases. While hospitals remain the largest employers, outpatient centers and diagnostic clinics are expanding their use of portable and digital imaging tools. Technologists who obtain additional credentials in Computed Tomography (CT) or Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) will have the strongest job prospects.
