Can you get A.S. in Medical Sonography, then certificate in Radiology?



Or do people usually get the degree in Radiology Technology, and a certificate in Sonography?

Thanks : )

I really don't know first-hand but I've seen college programs for solely medical sonography/ultrasound and those that are solely for radiographic technology. Both programs might have a bit about either one. In other words, the sonography may teach about radiology and vice versa. Source(s): Here is a website for the US Occupational Outlook Handbook: www.bls.gov/oco and can search '
If you plan on doing both, radiologic technology would come before sonography, but you can do either by itself. However, if you become a sonographer, and later decide you want to do x-ray, there is no reason you couldn't do it the other way around.

No, they are two totally and completely separate fields, they use separate equipment. Not even close.

The salary for both is about the same, and only varies with the hospital.

You would have to get a separate 2 year degree to do both, but a hospital is not likely to employ you as both.
