Ultrasound Enhancement System

Imorgon Customer Support is there to provide the help you need around-the-clock, including proactively monitoring your system’s “heartbeat” 24 x 7. To help ensure high data availability and security, Imorgon maintains dual, fully redundant servers. System updates are free with your service contract, regardless of the number of workstations you have.

Radiology professionals know all too well the barriers PACS creates for achieving diagnostic excellence in ultrasound. At Imorgon our mission has always has been to deliver uncompromised ultrasound, restoring its full diagnostic potential.

The path to diagnostic excellence begins with in-depth ultrasound workflow analysis, a discipline in which Imorgon offers decades of experience. Our consultative, client-centered approach frequently reveals opportunities for streamlining workflow and increasing efficiency, as well as for improving overall department effectiveness. Some of these improvements are process-related, while the Imorgon Ultrasound Enhancement System™ facilitates others.

The Imorgon System features have been extensively field-proven by leading health care organizations throughout the USA. These enable efficient review of ultrasound studies while preserving the exam “story” as the sonographer intended. Radiologists see the entire study in context, as a whole, with dynamic clips and static images in interleaved acquisition order. Clips launch automatically and are easy to view, manipulate and control. It is also significant that they play at true frame rates and runtimes, for more accurate assessments of anatomical orientation and physiological function. The result is a more logical, precise exam review process.

Ultrasound excellence benefits further from easy-to-use electronic forms and reporting. These improve exam quality control, reduce error and redundancy associated with reading and writing handwritten paper forms, and streamline workflow and communications between imaging staff. The Imorgon System also supports state-of-the-art features you may use now or in the future, such as contrast imaging, 3D/4D, advanced measurements and OB calculations.

When diagnostic tools and workflow are optimized for efficiency, the entire radiology department delivers higher levels of care.

By design, the Imorgon Ultrasound Enhancement System™ improves the working experience of everyone connected with ultrasound—from clinicians who conduct studies to those providing IT support. Everyone is more satisfied because the Imorgon System enables greater diagnostic insight, productivity and professionalism.

For sonographers, the Imorgon System simplifies the process of conducting exams, collecting data and documenting clinical findings. Its easy-to-use Q/C (quality control) tools improve exam quality by helping sonographers quickly correct study exceptions and erroneous patient information. The tools also help eliminate time-consuming workarounds and IT interventions, as well as extraneous communication with radiologists to correct for onscreen misrepresentations.

The Imorgon System streamlines the radiologist’s review process and makes ultrasound exam interpretation more intuitive and precise. Physicians see the exam in context, as a whole study, with clips and static images in interleaved acquisition order, just as the sonographer intended. Because they don’t have to mentally reconstruct the exam or make potentially erroneous assumptions, more logical, precise exam reviews result.

The system’s integrated electronic reporting decreases errors associated with handwritten paper forms and manual report-dictation systems. Automatic population of measurements and text into patient drawings increases the value of these drawings as a summary report of patient conditions.

The Imorgon System was designed to alleviate IT managers’ concerns about compatibility, space allocation and support. It requires little or no extra hardware and fully integrates with existing PACS. Imorgon handles most of the upfront work, deployment is quick and easy, and the system requires minimal ongoing IT department support.

In today’s cost-driven healthcare environment, demands for greater returns on a technology investment impact diagnostic disciplines such as radiology. Any new system must deliver value, reliability and performance. The Imorgon Ultrasound Enhancement System™ helps radiology departments manage costs and improve the quality of patient care on several levels.

The Imorgon System lessens the time and effort required for sonographers to conduct, manage and send exams. This in turn facilitates more streamlined, insightful radiology review. Workflow efficiency benefits, as does quality of care, since there are fewer patient holds, callbacks and re-scans.

The Imorgon System reduces the time and effort associated with report dictation. Ultrasound system data and sonographer observations transfer automatically to dictation system templates, so there’s no need for redundant dictation of data. Patients ultimately benefit through elimination of misunderstandings and errors due to writing and reading of handwritten paper forms, manual dictation and verbal communication.

The Imorgon System minimizes your IT footprint because it requires no additional hardware. It “shares the glass” with your existing PACS workstations and includes an integrated harmonization engine that provides vendor-neutral support for all major ultrasound and dictation systems. Support of DICOM SR data and electronic worksheets also helps eliminate potential equipment compatibility issues.

The Imorgon Ultrasound Enhancement System™ seamlessly connects with existing radiology enterprise technologies to enhance workflow efficiency, ensure diagnostic confidence and improve reporting accuracy. It’s based on the DICOM industry standard for transferring images and other medical information between computers and on the HL7 communications standard for Hospital Information Systems (HIS).

The Imorgon System’s seamless PACS integration provides numerous operational, financial and diagnostic benefits. You can expect your downtime, need for IT support and additional hardware requirements to decline dramatically. With the Imorgon System, clinicians may continue using the same worklist and PACS workstation to simultaneously review ultrasound images and clips with prior CT or MRI exams.
