Booth Radiology Physicians Have Again Received Top Docs Honors
SJ Magazine and South Jersey Magazine have again recognized Booth Radiology's physicians as "Top Docs" in their fields.
SJ Magazine polled local physicians and asked them to identify which of their peers they would recommend to an ill family member. Jay Patel, MD received the Top Doc designation in two categories - Diagnostic Radiology and Vascular Interventional Radiology. Steven Gilbert, MD was honored in the Neuroradiology category and Marcus Whitley, MD was honored in the Nuclear Medicine category. Dr. Patel was previously honored in last year's selection by SJ Magazine making this his second consecutive year to be acknowledged in more than one category. Dr. Whitley was also honored in 2007 by SJ Magazine in Interventional Radiology, making this his second consecutive year to receive this distinction.
South Jersey Magazine asked its readers to vote for doctors who provided them with the best possible care. Robert Sheiman, MD earned Top Doc honor in Interventional Radiology from South Jersey Magazine, and Lewis Marchant, MD received Top Doc in Radiology from the same publication.
Other previous Top Docs from Booth Radiology include: Mark Baum, MD (2005) , Michael Ramer, MD (2005), Sherrill Little, MD (2006), Anil Desai, MD (2007), Sloan Rosten, MD (2007), Samir Tilak, MD (2007) and Ross Titton, MD (2007).
"It is rewarding to see our physicians recognized as Top Docs in their fields," states David Olian, MD and President of Booth Radiology. "Of course, all of our physicians are Top Docs in our eyes and in the eyes of our peers. They are all board certified and fellowship trained in their areas of expertise."
Booth Radiology has three locations in the South Jersey area including Woodbury, Washington Township and Stratford. "These offices provide state-of-the-art technology combined with physicians who have been recognized over the years as Top Docs. "It's an important combination for providing the best possible service to our patients," says Dr. Olian.

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.
