Market context
In Kentucky, CVI/Rad Tech openings are typically driven by hospital and cardiovascular service needs, so employers often look for candidates who can step into procedure-focused imaging with minimal ramp-up. These roles are competitive because they require both radiography training and multiple credentials, including ARRT (CV or VI), BLS, ACLS, NIH Stroke Scale, and an active state radiographer license.
