Midjourney unveils 60-second full-body scanner

Midjourney announced it is building "Ultrasonic CT," a system using sound waves and water to produce whole-body scans in as little as 60 seconds without radiation or the strong magnetic fields used in MRI machines. The proposed scanner lowers a person into a pool of water while a ring of sensors sends ultrasonic waves through the body from multiple angles, with data processed by large-scale computing systems to generate detailed three-dimensional images. Midjourney believes the technology could make medical imaging faster, more accessible, and more frequent, allowing people to track health changes over time. Alongside the scanner, the company plans to launch the first "Midjourney Spa" in San Francisco by the end of 2027, combining wellness services like hot tubs, saunas, and cold plunges with health scanning technology. Looking ahead, Midjourney aims to deploy more than 50,000 scanners worldwide by 2031, with a target capacity of up to one billion full-body scans per month. The company noted it is independently funded and plans to involve its community in shaping the new healthcare initiative.
