Midjourney Launches Medical Unit for 60-Second Water-Based Full-Body Scanner

1 articles · Updated · Fox News · Jun 28

Summary

  • Midjourney has created Midjourney Medical to develop a water-based full-body ultrasound system that it says can produce a 3D body map in about 60 seconds.
  • The scanner lowers a person through shallow warm water past a ring of ultrasound sensors, using sound-wave data and heavy computing to reconstruct internal images without radiation or powerful magnets.
  • Midjourney plans to start with body-composition maps—such as muscle and fat—while any diagnostic use would require FDA clearance and clinical evidence.
  • A first "Midjourney Spa" is planned in San Francisco by late 2027, reflecting the company's push to make scans feel more like a wellness visit than hospital imaging.
  • The bigger test is whether an AI-image company can prove medical accuracy, safety and privacy strongly enough for doctors and regulators to trust the technology.
