Software for functional ultrasound
Streamlining workflows for Iconeus One
What you get out of a functional ultrasound system depends on much more than just the performance and reliability of the hardware – experiments need to be set up quickly, data needs to be reliably acquired, and complex results need to be easily visualized.
And that’s where our software comes in, with every function fine-tuned to help you get your experiments completed efficiently.
IcoScan: Acquisition software for functional ultrasound
IcoScan is our software module for setting up fUS experiments and acquiring data. It integrates with and controls the robotic scanning platform, enabling precise and automated probe movements for comprehensive imaging studies.
The main features of IcoScan are:
High-sensitivity imaging
Ultrafast plane wave imaging and optimized signal processing ensures maximum sensitivity, for exceptional image quality.
B-Mode imaging option
A standard ‘brightness mode’ ultrasound imaging option helps you ensure the probe is accurately positioned before you start fUS imaging.
Fully customizable parameters
IcoScan allows all parameters to be easily adjusted according to the needs of each experiment, so there’s no limit to what you can do!
Live data visualization
A real-time display allows you to see imaging data as it comes in, helping you save time by making adjustments on-the-fly if necessary.
Easy synchronization and scheduling
Using IcoScan and the multiple BNC ports on every Iconeus One system, you can connect-up third-party lab instruments, and easily synchronize recordings across them: EEG signals, video recordings, and more can all be aligned with millisecond precision.
Maximum ease of use
We’ve designed IcoScan to be easy to learn and effortless to use – you don’t have to be an ultrasound expert to run a sequence and acquire high-quality images.
IcoStudio: Data visualization and analysis software for functional ultrasound
Automatic atlas registration
Streamlined probe positioning
Rapid results
3D visualization
IcoStudio uses machine learning algorithms to co-register any fUS image of the mouse brain to the Allen Mouse Brain Atlas in just one click, making segmentation of images easier and enhancing interpretation of results.
Using our ‘Brain positioning system’ (BPS™) feature, you can select any structure or region in the brain, and the probe will automatically move to the right location. The result is more consistent probe positioning, and hence greater reproducibility between subjects.
The analysis submodules of IcoStudio deliver results in seconds, keeping your work on schedule for everything from task-induced activation to resting-state functional connectivity
The volume visualizer that’s integrated into IcoStudio makes it easy to carry out in-depth analyses of volumetric data, giving you a more thorough understanding of 3D datasets.
IcoLab: Batch processing and reporting software for functional ultrasound
IcoLab is our latest innovation for efficient batch processing and comprehensive reporting of fUS datasets, speeding up your workflow for larger projects.
The main features of IcoLab are:
High-throughput batch-processing,
High-throughput batch-processing, enabling the analysis of hundreds of datasets in one go, freeing up valuable time
Quick reporting
IcoLab simplifies and speeds up report generation, providing you with actionable insights in double-quick time.
Streamlined and configurable workflows
Streamlined, configurable workflows, with step-by-step guidance and flexible options to adapt analyses to your specific needs. The latest updates to our neuroimaging tools, including seed mapping, connectivity matrices, and ULM (Ultrasound Localization Microscopy) for advanced vascular super-resolution studies.
