Background: Radiography plays a crucial role in modern healthcare through diagnostic and therapeutic imaging. After completing undergraduate (UG) education, graduates encounter multiple career pathways; however, awareness of these options is often limited. Objective: This study aims to identify and summarize the major career opportunities available to radiography graduates and to support informed career decision-making. Methods: A narrative review approach was used, incorporating information from peer-reviewed literature, academic resources, and professional guidelines related to radiography education and career development. Data were categorized into key domains including clinical practice, higher education, academic roles, research, healthcare management, industry, and emerging technological fields. Results: Clinical practice was identified as the most preferred career pathway (40%), followed by higher education (25%) and industry roles (15%). Academic teaching accounted for 10%, while research and emerging fields such as artificial intelligence each represented 5%. The findings demonstrate a growing diversification of career opportunities. Conclusion: Radiography graduates have a wide range of career options beyond traditional clinical roles. Increasing awareness, career guidance, and integration of advanced technologies into education are essential to support professional development and meet evolving healthcare demands.
