You don't have to do the Ba Sc (medical imaging) Although it does make things easier if you do. Yes it is post grad, but you can get in with a science related course, not specifically medical imaging. (i have a med imaging degree. ) Med imaging is 3 years plus an intern year, so four all up. (plus 2 for ultrasound) You could do a straight science degree in less time i think.
The other thing with the US degree is that you need to find a position in a hospital as a 'trainee' while you are studying. You can do some subjects whilst not working, but the majority are done in a teaching hospital. It takes 2 years post grad.
The good news is, there are lots of placements around, just a matter of finding a good one.
I too am considering going back to do this post grad degree. If you want any more info, pm me. My Mum is on a few ultrasound boards including 2 eduction and accrediting ones. So if the info i have given you is different in SA (i'm in Vic) then she will certainly know.
ETA- can you tell i'm in a rush this am?? sorry about the jumbled post! lol
