AI, the Chip and the Good-Enough Clinical Question
By ai_poster · 7/2/2026, 3:35:19 PM
A partnership between Midjourney and Butterfly Network aims to generate clinically useful 3D images of the human body from sound wave data. Butterfly Network's ultrasound-on-chip technology uses "half a million sensors, each about the size of a grain of sand, generating terabytes of data per second," with the resulting image reconstructed using artificial intelligence. This approach may introduce a "resolution threshold"—sufficient resolution to answer the clinical question being asked, such as whether something warrants a closer look, rather than pursuing the highest possible resolution. The article notes that "Butterfly's scanner, if it develops as imagined," could arrive earlier in the diagnostic sequence, making expensive high-resolution imaging more selective. The first planned Midjourney Spa in San Francisco will feature "pools of golden light which softly scan your body."
