Midjourney Ventures into Healthcare with Ultrasonic CT Technology
- Midjourney announced a new division, Midjourney Medical, focusing on full-body imaging.
- The company is developing an “Ultrasonic CT” system that could produce MRI-like scans in about 60 seconds using soundwaves and AI.
- Plans include opening the first imaging-equipped spa in San Francisco by late 2027 and deploying around 50,000 scanners worldwide over six years.
- The system aims to perform a billion full-body scans monthly, potentially reducing healthcare costs by up to half.
Midjourney’s expansion into medical imaging represents a significant shift from its origins as an AI image generation platform. The Ultrasonic CT technology combines ultrasound hardware with AI for rapid, detailed body scans without radiation or strong magnetic fields.
This initiative could transform healthcare diagnostics by making advanced imaging more accessible and cost-effective globally, with plans to conduct research trials and refine the technology over the next year. Source
