Our mission is to provide the most outstanding breast imaging service in the region, with a focus on compassion and personalized care.
The Bay Radiology goals are simple: 1) to solve problems for women (and men) with breast symptoms, quickly and efficiently and 2) to find breast cancers in asymptomatic women when they are tiny and curable.
Why Choose Us?
Same day answers
Patients have the option to meet with Dr. Amodei at the time of their imaging studies. Full work-ups can be completed in one visit—so that patients can leave with answers, not questions. In most cases, patients who are found to have a lump or other problem can be seen that same day.
Fellowship-trained breast imagers
Most mammograms, including many in our local market, are read by general radiologists who have completed only 3 months of required training in breast imaging during their 5-year residency. These general radiologists may only read mammograms once or twice a month. In contrast, Dr. Amodei completed dedicated fellowship training in breast imaging at Johns Hopkins and has specialized in women’s imaging for over 14 years.
State of the art technology
Mammograms with tomosynthesis (aka 3D mammograms) have been shown to increase detection of invasive breast cancer (the ones that matter most) by 40%, and decrease false alarms by 15-40%. We are the first in Maryland to offer Clarity HD ultra-high resolution tomosynthesis and also utilize state of the art i2D to substantially decrease radiation doses.
Tomosynthesis-guided biopsy
What is the point of finding a tiny cancer with tomosynthesis if you can’t biopsy it accurately? Bay Radiology was the first facility in Anne Arundel County to offer tomosynthesis-guided biopsy, so our team is very experienced. Stereotactic biopsies can also be performed using our system and are typically much more comfortable than procedures performed on traditional prone tables.
Comfortable curved mammo paddle
Our new mammogram paddles have rounded edges and are curved, not flat, so they better fit the contours of the breast. 93% of women find them more comfortable!
Physician-performed ultrasound
In many centers, breast ultrasound is performed by a technologist. At Bay Radiology, all breast ultrasound is performed by the interpreting physician. This allows the physician to examine the breast and directly correlate the palpable lump or other abnormality with the imaging findings in real time rather than relying on a technologist. This also means that the patient gets to review her images directly with the physician on the day of the examination.
