UCSF now offers a number of body composition measurement options through their fitness and recreation program (scans are performed by UCSF Radiology at the Parnassus Campus). Price for DXA (as of Sept. 2016) is $55 for UCSF gym members, $69 for general public.See below for more details; prices are listed for members/non-members. This is copied from: http://campuslifeservices.ucsf.edu/upload/fitnessrecreation/files/UCSF_Fitness_Recreation_Fall_2016.pdf#page=24In partnership with the UCSF Department of Radiology, we now offer medical-grade fitness assessments. Testing is done on the Parnassus campus at 1 Irving Street. To schedule an assessment, contact Meghan Laizure at 415.514.1606 or [email protected]. Body Composition Assessment Not found in other fitness centers, these are the most accurate methods available to learn your body fat and lean mass percentages.• DXA Scan—This is considered the “gold standard” or the most accurate form of body composition testing available today. Includes measurement of muscle, fat, and bone density with color imaging for your arms, legs, and trunk. $55/69• Bod Pod—Uses the same principle as underwater weighing without getting wet. Determines your fat and fat-free mass based on air displacement. $55/69• Fit3D Optical Imaging—Body scanner captures a 360 degree image of your body and extracts your body circumference measurements. $29/35

As one who has done colonoscopies (>500/year) and polipectomies up to 3 years ago, this question is of great interest to me.In people undergoing their colonoscopies without a properly cleansed colon, polyps are bound to be missed Poor colonoscopy prep hides pre-cancerous polyps.As for percentage of missed adenomatous polyps (the ones that have the potency to become a cancer), it varies between 6% in a study that integrated information about colonoscopies performed at University of Utah Health Care (UUHC) and Intermountain Healthcare (Intermountain) over the 14-year period between 1995 and 2009 Colonoscopy Isn¿t Perfect: About 6% of Colorectal Cancers Are Missed to 55% of small polyps in a rather small series of 54 patients having the inheritable form of colonic cancer the so called Lynch syndrome Missed Adenomas during Colonoscopic Surveillance in Individuals with Lynch Syndrome (Hereditary Nonpolyposis Colorectal Cancer) keeping in mind in this last paper the time between the first and the second colonoscopies was around 17,5 months, so not back-to-back as the others were.Other publications:Miss rate for colorectal neoplastic polyps: a pros... [Endoscopy. 2008]The miss rates for polyps, adenomas, polyps > or = 5 mm, adenomas > or = 5 mm, and advanced adenomas were, respectively, 28 %, 20 %, 12 %, 9 % and 11 %Here the two colonoscopies in multiple centers were done back-to-back in all 294 patients. In this serie none of the three colonic carcinoma's were missed.Factors influencing the miss rate of polyps in a b... [Endoscopy. 2012]Polyps are more often missed if more than two polyps were present, and if they were located on the left side of the colon where especially in the sigmoid colon there are a many bends behind the folds of which little polyps could be hidden and so missed.Keeping in mind we might miss some (10-20%) of the small polyps, and also the fact that small polyps grow slowly (except in Lynch syndrome), we do a follow up colonoscopy after finding one polyp after 5 years, after finding multiple polyps after 3 years, if no polyps present (and the colon prep was good and the colon clean) 10 years, except when the patient has a Lynch syndrome, that it always is 2 years.EDIT:In a 1999 paper in the Journal Gut by B. Hofstad Growth of colorectal polyps: redetection and evaluation ... [Gut. 1996] where they did a follow up on all polyps smaller than 9mm (which they didn't remove) doing yearly colonoscopies, each time painstakingly measuring the polyps, where adenomatous polyps (those that eventually could develop into cancer) hardly any growth was detected during the first two years, the growth in three years between 0 a third year wasn't much either just 0,13mm in the age group of 50-59, and none in the older age groups, see figure 7 on page 754 on Page on bmj.com (the complete paper) thus confirming that adenomatous colonic polyps when small (>9mm) didn't grow so fast.Fortunately the threshold for reliable polyp detection in another way of looking for colonic polyps Virtual colonoscopy also is 1 cm (10 mm). See this video from the UCSF department of radiology:these images compare quite well with those of a "normal" colonoscopy as demonstrated by Dr. Paul Choi:

There are probably none. Radiology Technology is more associated with hospital Radiology departments that offer training in radiologic technology. An alternate would be a baccalaureate program in Allied Health. This makes Radiologic Technology a certificate or diploma program.But there are Radiology departments in major hospitals that are affiliated with medical schools and are even academic clinical science departments. This association within an university does allow academic radiology departments to offer advanced degrees, such as a MS or PhD.The University might allow the advanced degree to be offered in the specialty’s name. If not, the clinical department usually has an affiliation with a basic science department such as Biomedical Engineering, Applied Physics, Biotechnology Sciences, and so on.Since it appears this question relates to programs in the United States, some places I know to approach for additional information include The Johns Hopkins University, UCLA, UCSF, Mallinckrodt Institute of Radiology, U. of Chicago, to name a few.Good luck.
