About Sonographer By State
Radif Partners reads the licensing pages of the state agencies that regulate medical imaging, the state-by-state table of the American Society of Radiologic Technologists, the fee pages of ARRT and of Inteleos (which runs the ARDMS exams), and the federal IPEDS files on sonography and radiography programs. Every rule, fee and program figure links to the page or file it was read on, with the date. Radif Partners is not a licensing board, a credentialing body, a school or an employer, gives no medical information and sells nothing.
Why this license guide exists
Someone choosing between ultrasound and x-ray, or moving to another state, asks plain questions: does my state require a license, which agency issues it, what do the national exams cost, and which schools near me train for it. The answers are spread over 51 agency sites and two credentialing bodies, and many pages that rank first collect contact details for schools or repeat claims without a source.
Search results for a sonographer or rad tech license send you to school directories that ask for your phone number, or to pages that say “all states require a license” or name four states without a source. This site reads the state table of the American Society of Radiologic Technologists and the page of each state agency, the ARRT and ARDMS fee pages and the federal IPEDS school files, and answers for your state: license or not, which agency, what the exams cost, and which schools train there. It sells nothing and passes on no contact details.
Who publishes it
The site is published by Radif Partners, a company that builds calculators and guides on public rules. It is an independent site, not a government site, not a licensing board and not affiliated with ARRT, ARDMS, Inteleos or the ASRT. It sells nothing, enrolls no one, takes no commission, carries no affiliate link and asks for no contact details.

What it relies on
The state table of the American Society of Radiologic Technologists, the pages of the state agencies it points to (37 of 51 read, the others refused our reader), the ARRT and Inteleos fee pages, and the IPEDS files of the National Center for Education Statistics. All were read on November 13, 2026.
What it leaves out
Medical content of any kind, salaries, and whether a person qualifies for a license. The method page lists every limit and the editorial policy explains corrections.
