What are some of the average salaries for radiology techs? What are some of the highest paying radiology tech jobs? What are some of the lowest paying radiology tech jobs?

I am considering a career in radiology, and I am curious as to how much money I could potentially make. I know that salaries can vary greatly depending on experience and location, but I would like to get an idea of the range.

There is no one definitive answer to this question, as it can vary depending on a number of factors - where you work, what level of experience you have, what type of radiology you specialize in, etc. That said, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the median annual salary for all medical and diagnostic imaging professionals was $63,420 in 2018. Radiologic technologists (which includes X-ray technicians) made a median salary of $59,520, while MRI technologists made a median salary of $73,410. Your best bet is to research salaries in your specific area and field, to get a more accurate estimate of what you can expect to earn.
