License at a Glance
Is a Pennsylvania radiology license required?
No. Pennsylvania does not currently issue a separate statewide license to radiologic technologists. However, X-ray operators must meet training, competency, and continuing education requirements, and auxiliary personnel must satisfy applicable board-approved examination or certification rules. Verify with the State.
Certification
ARRT® Certification
ARRT® certification is among the credentials Pennsylvania accepts as evidence of initial education and continuing competence for diagnostic X-ray operators. Employers and professional boards may impose additional requirements, so verify the rules for your role and practice setting.

About Pennsylvania
Pennsylvania lies in the Mid-Atlantic and Northeastern United States, linking the Great Lakes, Appalachian Mountains, and Atlantic seaboard. Known as the Keystone State, it borders New York, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, West Virginia, and Ohio.
Harrisburg is the state capital, Philadelphia is the largest city, and Pittsburgh anchors the west. Pennsylvania played a central role in the nation’s founding, including the signing of the Declaration of Independence and drafting of the U.S. Constitution, and Gettysburg became a defining Civil War site.
Pennsylvania combines forests and mountain landscapes with major universities, health systems, manufacturing, energy, and technology industries. Its culture also reflects Pennsylvania Dutch traditions, coal and steel history, professional sports, museums, and renowned regional foods.
