Booth Radiology Physicians Have Again Scored Top Docs

SJ Mag CoverThe September issue of SJ Magazine recognizes four Booth Radiology physicians who received top honors.

SJ Magazine polled local physicians and asked them "Which of your peers would you recommend to a family member who was ill?" Their responses were tallied and SJ Magazine published the list of physicians who are leaders in medicine and honored by their peers.

Jay Patel, MD is acknowledged in three categories, including Radiology, Diagnostic Radiology and Vascular & Interventional Radiology. Also recognized are Anil Desai, MD in Nuclear Medicine; Samil Tilak, MD in Neuroradiology and Sloan Rosten, MD in Radiology.

Recently, Booth Radiology physicians were also honored in the August 2007 issue of South Jersey Magazine. In this listing of Top Docs, readers were asked to vote for doctors whom they thought were "Top Physicians" in their specialty. Receiving the Top Doc recognitions were Ross Titton, M.D. in Diagnostic Radiology and Markus Whitley, M.D. in Interventional Radiology. This is the second time Dr. Whitley has received this distinction.

Several other Booth physicians have been named "Top Docs" in past years, including Sherrill Little, M.D., in 2006 as well as Michael Ramer, M.D. and Mark Baum, M.D. in 2005.

"We feel all of our radiologists are Top Docs, but we are very pleased to have several of our physicians recognized for the quality radiology provided to our referring physicians and their patients," said Michael Ramer, M.D., former president of Booth Radiology. Receiving recognition from our physician colleagues is very rewarding, he comments. "Being recognized individually as a physician is an honor, but high quality diagnostic imaging requires a team effort, which the entire staff delivers at Booth Radiology and Underwood-Memorial Hospital," remarks Mark Baum, M.D

PET/CT Scanner - Breakthrough in Cancer Care

Sewell, New Jersey: The world’s fastest PET/CT Scanner is now available at Booth Radiology’s Washington Township office. The biograph™ LSO from Siemens Medical is another addition to Booth’s state-of-the-art diagnostic imaging armamentarium. It is one of the most significant medical innovations in cancer detection in the past decade.

Physicians looking for cancer have long relied on CT (computed tomography) scans to detect abnormal masses. PET (positron emission tomography) imaging can find cancer deposits when they are too small to change the size or shape of the body’s organs, (before they can be seen on CT scans). However, PET scans are not as good as CT scans for pointing out the precise location and size of the cancer deposit, (which is important for directing biopsy, surgery, or other treatment). “When a PET scan can be directly fused onto the CT scan done at the same time and with the patient in the same position, the ability to accurately detect cancer and avoid false positives or negatives is markedly increased,” said Markus Whitley, M.D., Division of Nuclear Medicine at Booth Radiology. “Now combined, the biograph LSO PET/CT scanner will deliver technological advancements in diagnostic imaging here to for unavailable to oncology patients in Southern New Jersey. Our patients will receive the best, fastest and most accurate cancer imaging available anywhere,” he adds.

A patient’s fight against cancer has never looked brighter with the ability to tailor individual patient care management that is detailed and concise. Whole body studies, which combine the two previous separate and longer procedures, can be accomplished in as little as 30 minutes.

“Booth Radiology is proud to deliver this new level of diagnostic imaging for the staging, planning, treatment and monitoring of malignant disease in the oncology patient’s fight for life,” comments Michael Ramer, M.D., President of Booth Radiology.
