Practical writing guidance
- 1
Place your ARRT registration number status and state license status right after your name or in a dedicated credentials line, since these are verified before anything else in the resume
- 2
Specify modality volume and mix: 'Performed 25-30 X-ray and CT exams daily across ED, inpatient, and outpatient orders' shows both throughput and versatility
- 3
Report your repeat/reject rate if your department tracks it, since a low repeat rate on a radiologic technologist resume signals both technique quality and radiation-dose discipline
- 4
List trauma and portable radiography experience separately if applicable, since ED and ICU coverage requires different skills than a scheduled outpatient imaging shift
- 5
Name the imaging equipment and PACS/RIS systems you have worked on (GE, Siemens, Philips; Epic Radiant, GE Centricity) since departments standardize on specific platforms
- 6
Include any CT, MRI, or mammography registry credentials beyond your base ARRT registration, as cross-modality qualification significantly widens the roles you can be considered for
How to write a radiologic technologist resume
Put ARRT registration and modality scope where it cannot be missed
Quantify throughput, repeat rate, and turnaround time together
Distinguish your modality identity from adjacent imaging roles
Frequently Asked Questions
What credentials must a radiologic technologist resume list?
List your ARRT registration in radiography, R(T), your state license if required separately, and any post-primary certifications such as CT or mammography. Place these in a dedicated credentials section near the top, since managers verify registration status before reviewing the rest of your resume.
How is a radiologic technologist resume different from a sonographer's?
Radiologic technologists work with ionizing radiation modalities, X-ray, CT, and fluoroscopy, credentialed through ARRT. Sonographers use non-ionizing ultrasound, credentialed through ARDMS. The equipment and safety protocols differ enough that the two resumes should not read as interchangeable.
Should I include my repeat/reject rate if it's not flattering?
Include it only if it demonstrates competence, generally below 5% for most departments. If your rate is not tracked or not strong, substitute a different quality metric such as exam volume, dose compliance, or trauma turnaround time instead of omitting a metric entirely.
Is CT experience required to be competitive for radiologic tech roles?
Not for entry-level radiography positions, but most hospital postings above entry level prefer CT competency given how integrated CT has become with emergency imaging. If you hold ARRT post-primary CT certification, list it explicitly to widen your eligibility for cross-trained roles.
