About Imorgon Medical
Imorgon Medical, LLC makes ultrasound reporting software. Its worksheets send the sonographer’s measurements and findings straight into the radiologist’s report, in PowerScribe and every other dictation system, so the radiologist stops dictating what the computer already knows. Ultrasound industry veterans founded it in 2006.
Why “Imorgon”
Imorgon is Swedish for tomorrow.
Imorgon was founded by people from the ultrasound industry. When they sat down to define the company’s mission, one thing was clear:
- Ultrasound machines would keep getting better.
- But one step would still decide the quality of a department’s work: getting what the sonographer found into the radiologist’s report.
That step, the reporting middleware between the machine and the report, would matter more to a department’s output than any one vendor’s scanner. So the company set out to build the workflow tomorrow’s departments would need. The name came from that: tomorrow’s workflow. Imorgon.
What Imorgon does
| What it is | Ultrasound reporting software: digital worksheets, plus the integration that writes them into the report |
| Who uses it | Sonographers fill in the worksheet, and radiologists review a report that’s already drafted |
| Exams | All of them. Worksheets are configured for each site. Measurement-heavy exams gain the most, because published standards let the software add normal ranges, scores and calculations |
| Dictation systems | PowerScribe and every other dictation system, custom ones included |
| How it’s bought | A one-time setup fee in the range of a premium ultrasound transducer or a single MR coil, then a charge per report |
| Founded | 2006 |
| Based in | Sebastopol, California, with a remote team |
What Imorgon isn’t
If you’re searching for “Imorgon”, you may have found the wrong one:
- Not the car. The Överflöd Imorgon is an electric supercar in GTA Online. We make software for radiology departments.
- Not just the word. In Swedish, imorgon simply means “tomorrow”.
- Not a reading service. Imorgon doesn’t interpret exams. Your radiologists do, with less typing.
- Not a replacement for your PACS or dictation system. Imorgon works with the systems you already own.
Where we come from
Imorgon’s roots are in ultrasound PACS. In the 1990s, co-founder Lloyd Kreuzer, Ph.D., led Acuson’s entry into that market. He played a key role in creating Aegis, Acuson’s first-generation ultrasound PACS and one of the first, and in developing KinetDx, its second generation. He also helped extend the DICOM standard to support ultrasound.
Imorgon was founded in 2006 by the same ultrasound veterans, to work on the next step: the report.
Leadership
Andy Milkowski, MSc, CEO
Andy has spent more than 20 years in ultrasound, on the scanner side of the problem Imorgon now solves. At Siemens Healthineers he led ultrasound research and development for a decade, then served as Vice President of Product Management and Innovations. Products he introduced include ultrasound-derived fat fraction (UDFF), elastography, and the DAX deep abdominal transducer for patients who are hard to image.
UDFF was his idea, built by his team: a liver fat measurement validated against MRI and biopsy. He is a named inventor on U.S. patents for estimating tissue properties such as liver fat with ultrasound. For years he led the RSNA Quantitative Imaging Biomarkers Alliance (QIBA) committee on ultrasound shear wave speed, and brought its work to completion, so that elastography measurements agree from one vendor’s system to the next.
Before R&D, he led Siemens’ national ultrasound sales organization, a $100M, 120-person team, and managed a $105M radiology product line at GE Medical Systems. He joined Imorgon as CEO in 2022.
Andy received a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering from the Milwaukee School of Engineering and a Masters in Industrial Engineering from the University of Wisconsin. He hosts the podcast The Operating System.
