Job Bank's national median is $40 an hour, about $83,000 a year full time. Job Bank pools all medical radiation technologists (X-ray, nuclear medicine, radiation therapy and MRI (magnetic resonance imaging)) under one code, so this is the figure for the whole group. Nuclear medicine sits in the middle to upper part of it.
