How to read the wage estimate
Annualized wages: BLS multiplies hourly wage rates by 2,080. These are not observed yearly earnings or total compensation.
The mean is the average and the median is the midpoint. Their ordering does not establish the cause of a difference; do not treat the pair as a salary range.
Employee wages, not all physician income or guaranteed base. Employment estimate: 770.
12.1% Wage relative standard error, not a pay percentile
What the Ohio radiology wage row can tell you
The wage relative standard error is 12.1%. RSE describes estimate precision, not the spread between individual offers. In the Ohio row for radiologists, $260,000 is the median annual employee wage and $264,470 is the mean. The employment estimate is 770 employee jobs, not current vacancies.

National compensation
U.S. radiology
Doximity 2026 reportNational full-time physician compensation, 2025 data. Not state wages.
Who was surveyed
2025 responses from full-time U.S. physicians working at least 40 hours a week.
Medscape: U.S. specialty total compensation
Medscape 2026 reportNational full-time physician compensation, 2025 data. Not state wages.
Who was surveyed
2025 income reported by full-time U.S. physicians. Includes base salary, incentive bonus and other income, such as profit-sharing. Rounded as published; not a state figure.
National radiology surveys may use a different specialty scope and population from BLS Radiologists. National total compensation, not this state's average. Do not blend these surveys with state wages or call the figures a salary range.
Why the sources differ
Do not average these surveys together. Doximity and Medscape survey physicians in distinct national populations. Specialty definitions, work patterns, pay components and samples differ. Use each as a separate reference for the written offer.
The national survey measures compensation; the BLS state estimate measures employee wages. Different populations and pay definitions mean these are context, not directly comparable endpoints of a salary range. The national figure is not a state average.
Licensing and first-shift checks in Ohio
Ohio's medical-board application FAQ distinguishes review of an application from issuance of a license. Outstanding application items appear in the eLicense review-status comments, and the board identifies eLicense as the source for verifying a license's current status, issue date and expiration date. For an Ohio offer, assign owners to missing items, check the issued license and its status, and confirm facility privileges and onboarding separately. A submitted application or a processing estimate is not a confirmed first-shift date.
Build a radiology offer checklist
Use the actual job description to check the work that sits behind the pay number. These are questions for the hiring team, not claims about available Saile jobs.
- Define diagnostic or interventional work, modalities, patient populations and any on-site procedures. A broad occupation row does not price each reading or procedure.
- Ask about reading volume, shift length, overnight coverage, turnaround expectations and the incentive formula. Identify how critical findings are communicated and followed up.
- For remote reading, confirm the practice locations, required licenses and site credentials, image and record access, and local escalation before taking a first shift.

How does Ohio radiology pay compare nationally?

What should I verify before starting radiology work in Ohio?
Ohio's medical-board application FAQ distinguishes review of an application from issuance of a license. Outstanding application items appear in the eLicense review-status comments, and the board identifies eLicense as the source for verifying a license's current status, issue date and expiration date. For an Ohio offer, assign owners to missing items, check the issued license and its status, and confirm facility privileges and onboarding separately. A submitted application or a processing estimate is not a confirmed first-shift date.
How can I find higher-paying or part-time radiology work?
Compare written offers with the same hours, duties and benefits. Use the Saile app to explore part-time, per-diem, locums, telemedicine and full-time work through the existing search.
