It might be difficult. 'Registered Radiology Technologist' is a training pathway at the associate level (2 years of community college). While it is a longer training pathway in many other countries, it might be difficult to convince USCIS that the 4 year bachelors degree is a job requirement. If however a hospital would hire an RRT as 'supervisor' with a requirement for a bachelors level degree, an H1b could work out.
Funny enough, it would be possible to get a green-card for a radiographer. They just have to proove that nobody wanted the position when they advertised it. Given the good job market for x-ray techs, this should not be a problem.
Look for hospitals along the northern border of the US. They routinely hire canadian healthcare personnel and are familiar with the immigration process. They might be more open to filing paperwork than lets say southern or coastal hospitals (also, rural hospitals in the northern midwest and plains are bleeding for qualified personnel. another incentive to help you along with paperwork).
Good Luck. We need you guys.

Similar but different
I have a different problem. I have Radiography Diploma, from India of 24 months duration. I am already ARRT registred with CA & NY dept of health licenses. I passed ARRT MR examination as well in December 2005. I have a total 20 plus years of experience as radiographer including 5 years in MRI. I have some experience in CT also and is preparing for the ARRT exam probably in June 2007 in US. How can I find an employer who will sponsor me for H1 or other any other type of visa or GC which allow me to work. I am willing to work any where in US with an ulimate aim to join some centre as MR Technologist where they do research in fMRI (functional MRI)
Thanks
