Under the partnership, Halo’s genetic lab and precision diagnostic software services will be integrated with Ikonopedia’s mammography software for follow-up tracking and one-click radiology reporting.

This integration is anticipated to lead to a 40% increase in follow-up imaging compliance, which will aid in early detection and lead to less invasive treatments.

Additionally, the partnership will use Halo’s Hereditary Gene Panel Tyrer-Cuzick 8 and Polygenic Risk Score to increase the identification of patient risk.

Halo Diagnostics founder and chief product officer Brian Axe said: “We’re proud to partner with Ikonopedia and their robust breast imaging reporting and risk-assessment tools.
