Diagnostic Imaging Centers is partnering with HALO Precision Diagnostics.
The HALO PathWay™ for Breast is available at our Overland Park office,
with expected expansion to other clinics in the near future.
Saving Lives With Early
Breast Cancer Detection
Diagnostic Imaging Centers and HALO are committed to early-stage disease
screening, diagnosis, and care. Learn more about how the future of your
healthcare is in your hands with the HALO PathWay™ for Breast.
Precision Diagnostics = Early Detection
Screenings help find cancers early, before they spread.
Genetics can identify your inhereted risks of cancer.
Analysis can find indicators of disease in the body.
3D advanced imaging scans can detect warning signs of cancers and disease.
Together, these insights provide a clear and detailed picture of your health, enabling you and your doctor to make informed decisions about disease risk, prevention, and management.

Why Early Breast Cancer Detection Saves Lives
1 in 8 women
are diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime¹
30-50%
of cancers are preventable with early detection and healthy lifestyle choices²
5% more
women are identified with precision diagnostics and then receive additional screening with advanced imaging³
4x higher 5-year survival rate
when cancer is caught early, compared to those diagnosed in later stages⁴

The HALO Experience™
providing convenience and confidence for patients seeking early detection
I highly recommend genetic testing for all women, especially if they have a history of breast cancer in their family, even if it is just one family member.
The HALO Diagnostics Difference
Getting you from screening to diagnosis, faster
HALO is empowering better health by enabling patients to get diagnosed early and on a precise treatment pathway faster than ever before. This is possible through:
- Advanced imaging and non-invasive tests
- All testing under one roof at select Diagnostic Imaging Centers clinics
Using this approach, time from screening to diagnosis is faster and more convenient, cutting weeks or months down to just days. HALO also provides support for care coordination so you can spend more time taking care of you.
More than a test center
- All screenings and tests available in a single location
- Faster time to accurate diagnosis
- Convenient coordination of care
The First Step in Early Detection
The key piece of our precision diagnostics is the HALO PathWayTM for breast. By streamlining genetic testing and breast imaging, patients get the testing they need. During your appointment, saliva is collected and sent out to be analyzed. The lab results from your saliva testing are combined with your imaging results into a patient-friendly report sent to your doctor. The HALO PrecisionReportTM is an integrated, holistic report providing a 360-degree view of the patient’s condition and hereditary risks. Based on clinical guidelines, the report will also include recommendations and next steps.
Tests with the power to save lives
- The saliva collection container captures DNA for genetic testing and other analysis.
- A full patient-friendly report is sent to your doctor.
- HALO Diagnostics provides automatic scheduling and direct support for patient follow-up.
Take a Stand Against Breast Cancer, Sooner
At your annual mammogram visit done at select Diagnostic Imaging Centers locations, you will be asked to spit in a test tube. The DNA in your saliva will then be used for genetic testing. When testing identifies high-risk patients, including those with BRCA gene variants, additional breast MRI screening may be recommended.
This added screening increases the cancer detection rate by three times in high-risk woman.5 Detecting cancer is the first step to an earlier diagnosis. Cancer that is diagnosed earlier also requires less invasive surgery and treatment for improved outcomes.
