What kind of a salary does an X-Ray technician or Radiology Technician make?
Do they both require the same qualifications? Please advise.

Check with the Personnel Dept at your local hospitals. This way you can which pays the higher salary. Most qualifications can be met by completing study at a community college.

The salary/remuneration for a particular job is the market value for a particular profession and designation at the city/town where the office is located. Job postings at websites like Monster, Yahoo HotJobs and Careerbuilder carry information about salaries. The Govt Dept of Labor, (www.bls.gov) Bureau of statistics has information about median salaries for different professions and details of additional compensation offered. Other online resources are salary.com and payscale. Your salary will also depend on your educational qualification and how you handle your career.

They are basically the same thing, but the proper term is radiologic technologist, not technician. Radiology technologist could refer to a specific field other than x-ray, such as CT, MRT, etc.
As far as pay, it varies a lot. Check out the ASRT 2004 Wage and Salary Survey: http://www.asrt.org/content/RTs/SurveyResults/WageandSalarySurvey/WageSalSurvey2004.aspx
