Iconeus to present functional Ultrasound at SfN 2024 in Chicago
Join us at the SfN 2024 in Chicago, where this year we’ll be presenting the advances in functional Ultrasound neuroimaging.
We’re Iconeus – a Paris-based company, founded by the inventors of functional ultrasound, who have invented an easy-to-use functional ultrasound system for imaging cerebral blood flow and microvasculature. Its unique combination of sensitivity, speed and high resolution has enabled it to lead the field in preclinical studies on awake animals, and it is now being proposed for applications in clinical research too.
Iconeus One is a breakthrough in brain research, offering through the same revolutionary technology both high-end neuroimaging and outstanding hemodynamic mapping. As well as allowing brain activity in mice, rats and other small animals to be imaged quickly and easily, it is now starting to be used for clinical research in humans too. Iconeus One is:
Functional ultrasound uses multi-plane-wave ultrasound to
generate 2D images of blood flows across the brain in a
matter of seconds. This makes it possible to follow changes
in neuronal activation over time (thanks to the neurovascular
coupling), or to generate 3D images of the entire brain
vasculature.
As well as allowing mobile animals to be imaged using our
compact probes, functional ultrasound provides far greater
spatial and temporal coverage than the restricted ‘snapshots’
possible with conventional ultrasound. It’s also inherently
sensitive, allowing it to spot small changes in neuronal
activation much more readily than fMRI.
Hear from our founder Mickael Tanter about the potential of functional ultrasound in this two-minute video.
Functional ultrasound has many applications in neuroscience, including in fundamental brain research, drug development, and investigations into neurodegenerative disorders and stroke (see our full list of publications for examples). But across all of these areas, there are five main ways in which fUS can be used:
It’s fair to say that our customers are pretty impressed by Iconeus One!
In the years since Iconeus was founded, we’ve developed collaborations with over 30 companies and organizations around the world, who are keen to see what functional ultrasound could offer them (and we’re happy to say that all of them have loved it).

Join us at the SfN 2024 in Chicago, where this year we’ll be presenting the advances in functional Ultrasound neuroimaging.
At SfN 2024, we’re excited to se the first afternoon symposium dedicated to fUS. So put 5 October in your diary, and we’ll see you there!
Join us at the FENS Forum 2024 in Vienna, where this year we’ll be presenting the latest advances in real-time fUS neuroimaging.
We’ve assembled a talented team here at our facilities in Paris: experts in neuroscience, ultrasound physics and software engineering work side-by-side to develop new product features, and to fine-tune the technology for emerging applications.
So whatever you’d like to talk about – from the finer points of determining resting-state functional connectivity to the approximate price for a tailored Iconeus One system – there’s bound to be someone who can help (and they’re probably sitting next to us!).
