@rowancheung: Midjourney, the company best known for its AI image models, announced a new division called Midjourney Medical and its first product is a full-body ultrasonic scanner. Patients descend into a shallow pool, passing through a ring of roughly half a million sensors that fire sound waves and capture echoes, reconstructing a 3D body map without radiation or magnets. The company claims near-MRI resolution at up to 100 times the speed and a few dollars per scan. Developed with Butterfly Network, the scanner debuts at a "Midjourney Spa" in San Francisco in late 2027. The scanner, developed with ultrasound chipmaker Butterfly Network, won't launch in a hospital but inside a wellness center called the "Midjourney Spa," opening in San Francisco in late 2027 alongside hot tubs, saunas, and cold plunges. Midjourney's long-term ambition is a fleet of 50,000 scanners performing a billion full-body scans a month, reframing medical imaging as something casual and routine rather than rare and expensive. If the technology delivers on its claims, it could shift medicine toward catching disease early in healthy people, though the scanner remains an unproven prototype that still needs clinical validation and FDA clearance for any diagnostic use.

Sorry about the wrong kidney, the model had a slight hallucination but its confidence score was a solid 98%.

Gergely Horváth :

so basically ultrasound tomography 😂😂😂

I don’t understand the hate in these comments. I actually love this launch - I find it hopeful

me :

Default standard for residence bathtubs in a few years, paired with an app and the perrsonal medical file. (If you are actually going to build it, I want 1% of the profit for the idea) 😊

This idea is not new, actually the first ultrasound devices worked that way. But combined with the latest computational power, it can be interesting. Ultrasound has its pro and cons. No radiation and speed is in the pro side, but it lacks in resolution, especially in depth, as the signal get damped strongly in human tissue, especially in fat tissue.

globularamphora :

So like a massive ultra sound

Guccio08 :

We already had ultrasounds. Looks impressive, but it’s not a “new technology”.

Jean Pierre :

it is so shitty

inti_n :

what if you slightly move ? is that a problem ?

Persian_123 :

Holy ai bubble

Remanence :

Ok! But what will it proof other than providing data on abnormal refractions which could be transient, temporal or permanent, but just a moment in time! No certainty! If however they map this to a holistic life medical review agent like Remanence then it could become very powerful

Laura Vazquez :

cool

Rissay :

Ghost in the shell is being born

ithinkimcharlie :

wowzas

MuQadon :

It's sound like i would get underwater

The AI Colony :

Wow. Just wow🫡

westbusiness :

pls no descent

Lunoval :

Thoses spas are going to be medical data gold mines 🧃

Nick :

Is that how they are gonna make copies of us for simulations?

prsjcfisahrgike :

its not a cool thing tjat it opens in an sf spa wtf 😂😂

anotherdayonbluemarble :

The 1% used it for the last 30 years.
