The Ohio Society of Radiologic Technologists

What The Ohio Society of Radiologic Technologists does

The Ohio Society of Radiologic Technologists (OSRT) is a 501(c)(6) non-profit professional association founded in 1938 in Lima, Ohio and currently headquartered in Zanesville, Ohio. It serves licensed radiologic technologists, radiation therapists, nuclear medicine technologists, medical imaging students, and educators across Ohio, and is the recognized state affiliate of the American Society of Radiologic Technologists (ASRT). OSRT's product surface is built around membership programs (Active, Associate, Student tiers at $30-$90), the annual Student and Educator Symposium (533+ attendees in 2026) and fall Annual Meeting, virtual continuing education workshops, the Cardinal Rays quarterly newsletter, the Job ConneX employment board, the OSRTERF scholarship and grant portfolio, and student leadership pipelines.

The organization operates with a small paid staff of 6 and a large volunteer Board of Directors plus a separate 501(c)(3) entity, the OSRT Education and Research Foundation (OSRTERF), established in 2008. Revenue is generated from membership dues, event registration fees, web advertising, corporate sponsorships, and tax-deductible donations to OSRTERF. OSRT actively participates in Ohio regulatory and legislative processes, having secured state licensure for medical imaging professionals in 1995 and continuing to testify on scope-of-practice bills such as HB479 and SB324. The underlying technology stack consists of standard web-based membership management and communication platforms; no proprietary AI, software products, or technical IP is disclosed.

Direct peers

• Pennsylvania Society of Radiologic Technologists (PSRT): A fellow chartered state affiliate of ASRT serving radiologic technologists in Pennsylvania. Highly comparable structure: state-level advocacy, dues-based membership, annual meetings, student competitions, and continuing education offerings.
• California Society of Radiologic Technologists (CSRT): California's chartered ASRT state affiliate society. Mirrors OSRT's state-level professional society structure with dues, advocacy, events, and student programs — making it one of the closest direct comparables by operating model.
• New York State Society of Radiologic Technologists (NYSSRS): New York's chartered ASRT state affiliate for radiologic technologists. Directly comparable in operating model — dues-funded membership, statehouse advocacy, CE events, student pipeline programs — and serves an analogous regulatory environment.
• Texas Society of Radiologic Technologists (TXSRT): Texas's chartered ASRT state affiliate for radiologic technologists. Same structure as OSRT — dues, state advocacy, annual conference, student competitions, and CE — and serves a similarly large licensed imaging workforce.
• Florida Society of Radiologic Technologists (FSRT): Florida's ASRT-affiliated state society for radiologic technologists. Comparable dues-funded, volunteer-governed, advocacy-and-CE model serving licensed imaging professionals in a single U.S. state.

Others

• American College of Radiology (ACR): The national professional association for radiologists and an OSRT advocacy partner on HB479 contrast-administration legislation. A companion physician society that shares regulatory interests with OSRT's technologist constituency.
• American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT): The primary national credentialing body for radiologic technologists and a Core strategic partner to OSRT. Comparable in that it sets standards OSRT members must follow, but it is a credentialing organization rather than a membership society.
• Joint Review Committee on Education in Radiologic Technology (JRCERT): The accrediting body for radiography and radiation therapy educational programs, with which OSRT partners closely (e.g., the Roy Bell Memorial Luncheon). Ecosystem-adjacent rather than directly competitive, but materially relevant to OSRT's educator and student segments.

Broad incumbents

• American Society of Radiologic Technologists (ASRT): The national professional society for radiologic technologists and OSRT's formal charter affiliate. Comparable in mission (advocacy, CE, credentialing support) but operates nationally rather than being state-bound, making it both a partner and a competitive alternative for members.

Regional players

• American Society of Nuclear Cardiology / Society of Nuclear Medicine & Molecular Imaging (SNMMI): A national allied medical imaging professional society that overlaps with a portion of OSRT's nuclear medicine technologist membership. Comparable in offering CE, advocacy, and credentials for a subset of imaging professionals.
