As you are UK based, Jimmy is correct. You need to train in Diagnostic Radiography first then Sonography post grad. http://www.nhscareers.nhs.uk/details/Def¦

Most Sonographers are Radiographers.

To become a radiographer you need a recognised first degree or accelerated postgraduate qualification, but diagnostic radiographers and therapeutic radiographers have to study separate degree subjects.

Sorry but Jimmy incorrect. You need to find a CAAHEP accredited Diagnostic Medical Sonography program. Some programs will require a medical background while others do not. Before there were Sono programs, Rad Techs were trained on the job, so many people have Rad Tech backgrounds, but that is not required. Now most people go through a 2 year Associate's degree for DMS.
