The District of Columbia has the highest concentration of diagnostic radiologists in the U.S., with 47.00 diagnostic radiologists per capita, according to a Becker’s analysis of state-level diagnostic radiologist counts and 2025 U.S. population estimates from KFF.

The number of diagnostic radiologists per 100,000 residents was calculated by dividing the total number of diagnostic radiologists in each state by that state’s total population, then multiplying the result by 100,000.
