Company Overview

Imagilys (www.imagilys.com) is a SME based in Brussels. It offers services, software, and hardware in the field of advanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain. Its main mission is to provide complete and user-friendly systems, readily useable in clinical routine. Its second mission is to perform applied research to develop future clinical techniques. This second mission is fostered by national and international collaborations with research institutes. Its potential clients are public or private hospitals willing to provide their patients with state-of-theart medical care. Radiology and neurosurgery departments are its main interlocutors. Although its techniques can be used worldwide, Imagilys focuses mainly on Europe, the Middle East and Asia. Its expertise covers:


  • functional MRI (fMRI) which can detect the functional brain areas involved in various tasks (motor, hearing, language, etc.), and therefore protect them during neurosurgical interventions.
  • Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) which can generate cartographies of the brain’s white matter tracts, to characterize neurological diseases or plan neurosurgical interventions.
  • Perfusion imaging (PWI) which can identify perfusion abnormalities in stroke and tumors.
  • Neurosurgical navigation, which can help the neurosurgeons to navigate to the brain lesions, while protecting important areas.
  • Deep brain stimulation (DBS) that uses electrical stimulation of deep brain nuclei to attenuate the symptoms of motor and psychiatric disorders
