You would have to complete a program of post-secondary training. Programs are offered through universities, technical institutes, and hospitals. They take 1-4 years to complete and can lead to a certificate, associate's degree or a degree. Most technicians complete a 2-year associate degree.
About the programs
The programs include classroom and clinical instruction in subjects such as anatomy, patient care, the principles of imaging, medical terminology, positioning of patients, and medical ethics. Entry requirements vary by program, so it's a good idea to contact the schools you are interested in their needs.
About certification
Certification is available through the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists and the American Registry of Diagnostic Medical Sonography. Although certification is voluntary, is highly recommended. Employers prefer candidates who have been certified. Applicants must meet education requirements and pass qualifying exams.
