How this is computed

Compiled by Radif Partners · How the rules were read

Oklahoma does not license radiographers, limited operators or sonographers: the ASRT table lists a state credential only for radiologist assistants, the advanced-level technologists licensed by the Board of Medical Licensure and Supervision. Tulsa Community College reported the largest radiography class in 2023-24, and ATA College the largest sonography class. The Oklahoma page the ASRT points to is the Board of Medical Licensure and Supervision, which licenses radiologist assistants, advanced-level technologists, and charges $25 for a written license verification. By awards in 2023-24, the largest programs were ATA College in Tulsa (sonography, 56), Tulsa Community College in Tulsa (radiography, 25), Tulsa Technology Center in Tulsa (radiography, 17), University of Oklahoma-Health Sciences Center in Oklahoma City (sonography, 17), Oklahoma State University-Oklahoma City in Oklahoma City (radiography, 15), Autry Technology Center in Enid (radiography, 13), Metro Technology Centers in Oklahoma City (radiography, 13) and University of Oklahoma-Health Sciences Center in Oklahoma City (radiography, 13).

How to get the Oklahoma rad tech license

A radiographer or sonographer files nothing with the state and works on the ARRT or ARDMS credential. A radiologist assistant applies online to the Board of Medical Licensure and Supervision. Also credentialed here: radiologist assistant.
