Since my brother is not a member of LM_NET, I'm not sure that his
response to this query was posted.  I'm sending it on, just in case
others may need similar information.

"Maryland and Ohio that have a 2 year
technicians training program to train to be Sonogram Technicians (sic)."

        The 1997 Society of Diagnostic Medical Sonographers lists 3
accredited schools in Maryland and 5 in Ohio.  I do not recommend
non-accredited schools.  Also, the correct professional term is Diagnostic
Medical Sonographer or just Sonographer;  the term technician was
abandoned by sonographers in the mid '70s for good reasons.  They exercise
a great deal of professional judgment and felt the term technician did not
communicate that aspect of their work.  The name was officially changed in
1975.  Now for the schools:

Maryland:
        Johns Hopkins Hospital, Baltimore
        Montgomery College, Takoma Park
        Univ. Maryland Baltimore County, Baltimore

Ohio:
        Central Ohio Technical College, Newark
        Cuyahoga Coummunity College West Campus, Parma
        Lettering College of Medical Arts, Kettering
        Lorain County Community College, Elyria
        Owens Technical College, Toledo

Hope this helps.
