Which Pennsylvania cities have the most radiology technologist jobs?

Philadelphia and Pittsburgh lead because of their dense concentration of large academic medical centers and hospital systems, while Allentown benefits from the Lehigh Valley Health Network anchoring a growing regional market with consistent imaging department demand.

About 0% of radiology technologist openings tied to Pennsylvania are remote or hybrid as of October 2026, and most of those involve teleradiology support, quality assurance review, or scheduling and administrative functions rather than direct imaging work.

Large systems like UPMC and Jefferson Health regularly hire recent graduates into structured imaging department orientations. Applying for limited X-ray operator roles or radiology aide positions at outpatient centers is a common lateral move that builds qualifying experience. Holding your ARRT certification and Pennsylvania state registration before applying gives you a clear edge over candidates still in process.
