CT Tech Jobs in Illinois: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a ct tech in Illinois?
To work as a ct tech in Illinois, you need to complete an accredited radiologic technology program, pass the ARRT radiography exam, and then earn ARRT advanced certification in CT. Illinois requires radiologic technologists to hold a valid license issued by the Illinois Emergency Management Agency Division of Nuclear Safety under the Illinois Radiation Protection Act. Most Illinois employers also require or strongly prefer candidates who hold the dedicated ARRT CT credential before starting.
How much do CT teches make in Illinois?
CT teches in Illinois earn a median of about $79,930 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $59,350 for the lowest 10% to over $104,210 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire ct techs in Illinois?
Employers hiring ct techs in Illinois right now include Voyage Health, Northwestern Medicine, and Advocate Aurora Health, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. Illinois's concentration of large integrated health systems and Level I trauma centers means ct tech openings appear consistently year-round rather than only during seasonal staffing cycles.
Which Illinois cities have the most ct tech jobs?
Chicago, Oak Park, and Maryville have the most ct tech job openings in Illinois. Chicago dominates because it is home to some of the nation's largest academic medical centers and multi-hospital health systems, while Peoria and Springfield generate steady demand through regional anchor institutions like OSF HealthCare and HSHS Medical Group that serve large surrounding rural populations.
Are there remote ct tech jobs in Illinois?
Yes, but they're rare. CT technology is a hands-on clinical role requiring direct patient contact and in-person scanner operation, so the vast majority of positions are fully on-site. About 0% of ct tech openings tied to Illinois are remote or hybrid as of August 2026, and those limited opportunities tend to involve CT image reading support or teleradiology coordination rather than direct scanning duties.
How can I get hired as a ct tech in Illinois with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is applying for a radiographer or general imaging tech role first and cross-training into CT once hired. Large Illinois systems like Northwestern Medicine, Advocate Health, and AMITA Health regularly hire new ARRT-registered radiographers and offer internal CT training rotations. Completing your ARRT CT certification exam before applying, even without full-time CT experience, signals readiness and meaningfully improves your chances at Illinois hospitals that value the credential over tenure.
Where can I find and apply to ct tech jobs in Illinois?
You can find and apply to ct tech jobs in Illinois on Migrate Mate, which lists current Illinois openings. Search the available roles, find the ones that match your credentials and preferred location, and apply directly to the positions that fit.
