Which companies hire radiologic technologists in Virginia?
Employers hiring radiologic technologists in Virginia right now include TridentCare, Inova Health System, and University of Virginia, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of October 2026. Virginia's mix of large academic medical centers, regional hospital networks, and military-affiliated health facilities means openings appear across a wide range of employer sizes and care settings.
Which Virginia cities have the most radiologic technologist jobs?
Richmond, Charlottesville, and Falls Church account for the highest concentration of radiologic technologist openings in Virginia. Northern Virginia's proximity to major hospital networks and federal health facilities drives volume in that corridor, Richmond's role as a hub for academic medicine and regional health systems anchors the central market, and Hampton Roads' large military and veterans' health infrastructure sustains consistent demand along the coast.
Are there remote radiologic technologist jobs in Virginia?
Yes, but they're rare. Radiologic technology is a hands-on clinical role requiring direct patient contact and operation of imaging equipment, so the vast majority of positions are on-site. About 0% of radiologic technologist openings tied to Virginia are remote or hybrid as of October 2026, and those positions typically involve teleradiology quality review or PACS administration rather than direct imaging.

The most realistic entry path is applying for new-graduate staff technologist roles at large Virginia health systems, which regularly hire ARRT-certified candidates who have completed clinical rotations during their accredited program. Inova, Sentara, and VCU Health all post new-grad openings and run structured onboarding programs for early-career technologists. Candidates who have worked as radiology aides, patient transporters, or medical assistants in imaging departments frequently transition into technologist roles once credentialed. Holding an active Virginia license and BLS certification before applying gives candidates a meaningful edge.
