Kentucky's large integrated health systems and regional hospital networks account for the majority of full-time and per-diem openings across the state.
Which Kentucky cities have the most radiologic technologist jobs?
Lexington, Louisville, and Edgewood have the most radiologic technologist openings in Kentucky. Louisville drives the largest share of postings as the state's most populated metro and home to sprawling health systems like Norton Healthcare and Baptist Health, while Lexington's volume reflects UK HealthCare and a dense concentration of outpatient imaging facilities serving central Kentucky.
Are there remote radiologic technologist jobs in Kentucky?
Yes, but they're rare. Radiologic technology is a hands-on clinical role that requires operating imaging equipment and positioning patients in person, so most positions are fully on-site. About 0% of radiologic technologist openings tied to Kentucky are remote or hybrid as of August 2026, and those tend to be in teleradiology support, scheduling coordination, or quality assurance roles that do not involve direct patient imaging.

The most realistic entry path is applying for a new-graduate or limited-scope position at a large Kentucky hospital system while your ARRT credentials and state license are fresh. Norton Healthcare and Baptist Health have historically onboarded new graduates into general radiography rotations, and UK HealthCare in Lexington offers structured imaging department orientations for early-career technologists. Candidates coming from radiologic technology student extern roles or from limited-scope positions in urgent care can also move into full technologist roles once they complete ARRT certification and obtain their Kentucky license.
