[AINews] Midjourney Medical: scan your organs like you step on a scale
Midjourney, known for its AI image generation tools, has unveiled a new medical imaging device called the Midjourney Scanner. This prototype system uses ultrasound technology to create full-body scans, aiming to be the first new whole-body medical imaging modality in 50 years. While currently not utilizing AI for image reconstruction and taking about 20 minutes per scan, Midjourney plans future iterations with custom silicon, AI integration, and significantly faster scan times. The company also announced plans for a "Midjourney Spa" in San Francisco, featuring multiple scanners and wellness amenities, with a target opening in late 2027. AI
