Iconeus

Iconeus, based in Paris, is renowned for pioneering the functional ultrasound technology specifically designed for imaging cerebrovascular activity. Their flagship product, the Iconeus One, integrates high-sensitivity, high-speed, and high-resolution capabilities, which makes it a leading tool in preclinical neuroimaging and an emerging player in clinical research settings. This system is noted for being user-friendly and versatile, catering to imaging needs across various animal models, from small rodents to larger primates. The integration with ultrasound localization microscopy allows visualization of cerebral blood vessels at resolutions as fine as 5 micrometers. Iconeus One's multi-plane-wave technology enables rapid acquisition of 2D and 3D hemodynamic images, with superior spatial-temporal coverage compared to conventional techniques. This has substantial applications in neuroscience research, including studies of neurodegenerative diseases, drug discovery, and stroke analysis.
