Choosing a career in medical imaging is an important decision that requires careful thought and comparison of the various options. Anyone trying to decide between becoming an Ultrasound Technician or an X-Ray Technician will find the two healthcare specialties have similarities and differences in training requirements and day-to-day job responsibilities. Understanding those differences can make it easier to choose between the two healthcare careers.

What are Day-To-Day Responsibilities of Ultrasound Technicians?
Ultrasound Technicians, also called Diagnostic Medical Sonographers or just sonographers, operate special medical equipment that directs sound waves into the human body. The purpose is to obtain images that can be used to identify soft tissue, organ, or blood flow problems, and to assess and diagnose medical related medical conditions. However, the daily job responsibilities include much more than just operating the ultrasound equipment. The trained professional also:
- Greets patients and explain procedures
- Completes appropriate patient records, either manually or using computerized patient electronic health records
- Directs patients to the ultrasound table and positions each person as needed to get the best imaging results
- Operates the ultrasound equipment, including making appropriate adjustments during the exam
- Produces and records images through proper use of equipment
- Decides which images should be kept and which should be discarded
- Determines the scope of the imaging session based on findings
- Reports findings to and consults with physicians
- Maintains patient records that include patient history and information, sonographs, imaging interpretations, and medical reports from other medical procedures
What are Routine Services Provided by X-Ray Technicians?
Technicians responsible for take x-rays are also called Radiologic Technicians. They are responsible for producing x-ray films of portions of the human body using radiological equipment. Though the duties are similar to the Ultrasound Technician in terms of adjusting and using equipment, the technician taking x-rays does not normally have to spend as much time with patients. Following are the basic responsibilities of the Radiologic Technician:
- Reviews physician orders for x-rays
- Prepares the x-ray room for the patient
- Greets patients, gives instructions concerning preparations for the procedure, and explains procedure
- Uses protective devices and shielding equipment to protect patient, technician, and other personnel from radiation exposure
- Positions patients on the x-ray table to ensure optimal results
- Positions x-ray equipment and adjusts controls as necessary
- Processes radiographic exposures using available equipment like film processors or computers
- Reviews the exposures before releasing patients to ensure they meet standards and expectations; re-take x-rays as necessary
- Uses digital picture archiving systems or ensures x-rays are appropriately identified and stored
How to Become an Ultrasound Technician?
Ultrasound Technicians can choose one of several education paths that take from one to four years to complete. Students can choose to earn a certificate in Diagnostic Medical Sonography, or pursue a two-year Associate’s degree in Diagnostic Medical Sonography or a four-year Bachelor’s degree in Diagnostic Medical Sonography. It is highly recommended that students attend a CAAHEP accredited school or program because it has classroom and clinical components. CAAHEP is the acronym for the Commission on Accreditation of Allied Health Education Programs. Once the program is completed, a graduate should become ARDMS (American Registry for Diagnostic Medical Sonography) certified by taking the appropriate exams.
How to Become an X-Ray Technician?
X-Ray Technicians also have the option of pursuing a certificate in Radiologic Technology, an Associate’s degree in Radiologic Technology, or a Bachelor’s degree in Radiologic Technology. Certificate programs can take 6 to 12 months, while degree programs will take 2 to 4 years. Students should attend a school or program accredited by the Joint Review Committee on Education in Radiologic Technology (JRCERT). After finishing classroom and clinical programs, students must earn certification by passing a state or American Registry of Radiologic Technologist (ARRT) exam.
Licensing
One of the main differences between the Ultrasound Technician and X–Ray Technician requirements is in licensing. X-Ray Technicians must be licensed by the state before starting a job. Ultrasound Technicians do not currently have to be licensed, though there are several states considering adding licensing requirements.

Does the X-ray Technician Earn More Than the Ultrasound Technician?
In most locations, technicians doing ultrasounds earn more than technicians taking x-rays. As of May 2016, the average annual wages for Ultrasound Technicians was $71,750 and for Radiologic Technicians it was $59,260 (source: bls.gov). There is also a large difference in the high and low salaries for each profession. Ultrasound Technicians have a pay range of $48,660 to $99,100. Technicians specializing in taking x-rays have a pay range of $38,660 to $82,590.
Another way to look at the statistics is that Radiologic Technicians earn almost 20% less than Ultrasound Technicians. Sonographers also usually start their ultrasound careers at a higher rate of pay.
Making Your Best Healthcare Career Choice
Each healthcare profession has advantages and disadvantages and understanding the differences can help with making the right career choice.
Pros and Cons as an Ultrasound Technician
The advantages of a career in Ultrasound Technology include the following:
- More challenging work because images must be analyzed in real time so adjustments can be made to ensure optimal data capture
- Higher level of responsibility in that imaging results are reviewed to determine if there are unexpected results indicating a need for further testing or medical evaluation
- Starts at a higher wage than X-Ray Technology, and the upper pay scale is 35% higher
- Spends more time with patients
- Infrequent exposure to harmful chemicals
- ARDMS requires earning 30 continuing medical education within 3 years after passing credentialing exam but then assigns a 10-year recertification period
The disadvantages of a career in Ultrasound Technology include the following:
- May be required to rotate shifts and be on call
- Wages vary significantly by geographic location
- Mentally demanding because sonographers must consistently work at their highest performance level at all times to minimize errors or incorrect results
Pros and Cons as an X-ray Technician
The advantages of a career in X-Ray Technology include the following:
- Wide variety of career paths, i.e. physician offices, dental clinics, nursing homes, and so on
- Usually hired to work a full-time schedule
- Uses well-established and tested technology
The disadvantages of a career in X-Ray Technology include the following:
- May be required to rotate shifts and be on call
- Earns lower wages than Ultrasound Technician
- Potential of exposure to radiation
- Work may become relatively routine
- Must stand for long periods of time
- ARRT certified X-Ray Technicians must complete 24 continuing education credits every two years
Though both careers are rewarding, the Ultrasound Technician tends to spend more time with people than the X-Ray Technician. That may be a deciding factor when choosing a career. Of course, some people are attracted to Ultrasound Technology because it pays more than Radiologic Technology. One important point to keep in mind is that sonography is a more portable technology because it does not use radiation. When choosing a career, it is important to always look ahead.
