If I'm not mistaken you need to get your degree in Radiography. You can then go on and get specialized certifications like U/S, CT Scan etc.

You need a degree (associates) for radiography, it is not taught in vo/tech schools.

I happen to go to St Vincents in Bridgeport and we have a radiography program here is the link

STCC in Springfield has a ultrasonographer degree and certificate program. Not sure how close you are to the state line, but it's a straight-shot up I-91 and pretty easy to get to.
