National Average Salaries

Feb

RoleApprox. US Average Salary
X‑Ray / Radiologic Technologist$70,000–$80,000
CT Technologist$80,000–$90,000
MRI Technologist$80,000–$95,000
Ultrasound / Sonographer$80,000–$95,000
Nuclear Medicine Technologist$85,000–$100,000
Mammography Technologist$75,000–$90,000
Interventional Radiology Technologist$90,000–$110,000
Radiation Therapist$90,000–$110,000

These are rounded from recent national surveys and job‑market data; for example, radiologic technologists overall average around the mid‑$70k range nationally.

How state affects pay (simple adjustment bands)

You can think of each state as roughly falling into a pay band relative to those national averages:

BandExample StatesTypical Adjustment vs National
Very HighCA, WA, NY, MA, DC, AK+15 to 25%
HighOR, NJ, CO, NH, MD, CT+10 to 15%
MediumOH, TX, GA, NC, VA, AZ–5% to +5%
Lower–Medium / LowerAR, MS, WV, OK, KY–5 to 15%

So, for example (using midpoints):

  • MRI Tech national midpoint: ~$88,000
    • In Washington or California (very high) → often $100k–$110k+
    • In Ohio (medium) → usually $80k–$90k
    • In Arkansas or Mississippi (lower) → often $75k–$82k

Same pattern applies across modalities: higher cost‑of‑living / high‑demand states push salaries up, lower‑cost states pull them down.

How to use this in a practical way

Pick a modality, then:

  1. Start with the national range from the first table.
  2. Apply the state band from the second table (e.g., +15% for WA, –10% for MS).
  3. Cross‑check with a couple of live postings on job boards in that state to see where current offers land.
