Can you study ultrasound (sonography) as an undergraduate?

I'm interested in sonographer ( people that take the ultrasound scan) for when I'm older but I can't find any uni degrees for undergraduates :( I wouldn't mind doing radiology as well ( taking x rays) but can't find any uni's that do it for undergraduates :(

Would I have to do another degree first and then do this one afterwards?? If so what is the degree you would have to do first?

Also is there a high likely hood I would get a job afterwards? And what kinds of salaries do they earn?

Thanks for the help :)

Update:

Am looking for degrees in the uk :)

    Not sure if it's the same in the UK, but here in the States there are 3 types of programs: 2 year vocational/tech, 2 year undergrad degree (Associate Degree) and 4 year undergrad degree (Bachelor Degree).

    The undergrad degrees here, don't require a previous degree in anything, but may require a few pre-requisites. The 2 year vocational programs are different - some require a prior degree (either Associate/Allied Health or a Bachelor degree) plus pre-reqs and some only require pre-reqs.

    You'd have to look at a programs requirements, for those that require a degree (they'll say what kind of undergrad degree), but what you major in isn't as important.

    Here in the States, sonographers are in demand, but not everywhere. Salaries vary but average is about $49,000 - $79,000.
