CT Technologist Jobs in Pennsylvania: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a ct technologist in Pennsylvania?
To work as a ct technologist in Pennsylvania, you need to complete an accredited radiologic technology program, pass the ARRT radiography examination, and then earn ARRT post-primary certification in Computed Tomography. Pennsylvania does not mandate a separate state-issued radiology license, so national ARRT CT certification is the credential Pennsylvania employers require. Many programs in the state are offered through community colleges and hospital-affiliated schools that include clinical rotations at local imaging centers.
How much do CT technologists make in Pennsylvania?
CT technologists in Pennsylvania earn a median of about $76,050 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $56,430 for the lowest 10% to over $97,740 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire ct technologists in Pennsylvania?
Employers hiring ct technologists in Pennsylvania right now include UPMC, Allegheny Health Network, and Geisinger, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of October 2026. Pennsylvania's large integrated health systems and academic medical centers drive much of the demand, with consistent openings across inpatient, outpatient, and emergency imaging departments throughout the state.
Which Pennsylvania cities have the most ct technologist jobs?
Philadelphia, Wilkes-Barre, and Camp Hill have the most ct technologist openings in Pennsylvania. Philadelphia leads because of its dense concentration of academic medical centers and hospital networks, Pittsburgh's strength comes from UPMC's extensive regional footprint, and Allentown reflects Lehigh Valley Health Network's growing presence in the state's third-largest metro.
Are there remote ct technologist jobs in Pennsylvania?
Yes, but they're rare. CT technologist work is inherently hands-on and requires operating imaging equipment in a clinical setting, so most positions are fully on-site. About 0% of ct technologist openings tied to Pennsylvania are remote or hybrid as of October 2026, and those roles are typically limited to teleradiology support functions or administrative imaging coordination rather than direct patient scanning.
How can I get hired as a ct technologist in Pennsylvania with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is applying as a radiology technologist or general x-ray tech first, then cross-training into CT through on-the-job experience at the same employer. Large Pennsylvania health systems like Penn Medicine and UPMC regularly bring on new-grad radiologic technologists and provide structured CT training rotations. Holding your ARRT radiography certification before applying, and targeting positions posted as CT tech trainee or CT tech apprentice, gives you a concrete credential that opens the door without prior CT-specific experience.
