Midjourney, known for its AI image generation, has launched a new division, Midjourney Medical, which has developed an experimental full-body ultrasound scanner named "Ultrasonic CT."

• The scanner uses half a million tiny ultrasound elements submerged in warm water to create a 3D map of the body, with a current prototype taking 20 minutes for a scan.
• The technology behind the imaging is licensed from Butterfly Network, with Midjourney paying them $15 million upfront and $10 million annually for five years.
• The first Midjourney Spa is planned to open in San Francisco by the end of 2027, initially offering body composition maps before seeking FDA approval for disease diagnosis.
