Midjourney, known for AI image generation, has launched a new division called "Midjourney Medical" and announced its first hardware product, a full-body ultrasound scanner called The Midjourney Scanner. The company says it can produce a 3D image of the whole body in about 60 seconds and aims for MRI-grade quality.

Full 3D body map

First use: body composition maps (muscle, fat, bone, water) — not diagnosis. Built on "ultrasound on a chip" technology.

Enthusiasm

Routine, spa-style MRI-quality scans in a minute could transform everyday health management. First "Midjourney Spa" planned for San Francisco in late 2027, housing 10 scanners.

Caution

Still a prototype with little clinical validation. No diagnostic use before FDA clearance, the 2027 timeline looks ambitious, and big claims arrive without a track record.
