68P Radiology Specialist to Radiology Technologist: Complete Career Guide (2025)

Bottom Line Up Front

Army 68P Radiology Specialists have direct pathways to clinical medical imaging careers earning $55,000-$100,000+ annually. Your hands-on radiological equipment operation, imaging principles, radiation safety, patient care, and technical expertise translate directly to radiology technologist, medical imaging technician, and radiologic supervisor positions. Entry-level radiology technologists start at $50,000-$65,000, experienced technologists earn $65,000-$85,000, senior technologists command $80,000-$110,000, and supervisors/educators reach $90,000-$140,000+. ARRT (American Registry of Radiologic Technologists) certification required (3-month study, exam $150). Military radiology training counts toward certification. Healthcare sector faces critical shortage of imaging technologists with 15,000+ positions opening annually. Massive demand exceeds supply of trained technologists.

Why 68P Specialists Excel in Clinical Radiology

Healthcare facilities actively recruit military radiologic technologists because you understand radiation safety, imaging protocols, and patient care at operational level.

You didn't just "take X-rays." You:
