The 2 main institutions that you will want to contact are:
The American College of Radiology, they will let you know what you will need to do to apply your experience to the American standards. Do you have a Visa? Have you just moved here? You will likely need a work visa... you may have to take the American radiology boards.
If Ultrasound is something you are interested in, an associated group that is the "Body" of ultrasound is the American Institute of Ultrasound Medicine.
I would start by contacting the American College of Radiology.
Good Luck
