Midjourney launches ultrasonic body scanner

Midjourney, the company best known for its artificial intelligence image generation software, has launched a new healthcare division and unveiled its first physical product: a full-body ultrasonic scanner. The company announced the device, called the Midjourney Scanner, at an event in San Francisco on Wednesday, June 17, 2026. It represents a significant pivot from digital art into the medical hardware and consumer wellness sectors.

The scanner is designed to create detailed 3D body composition maps in approximately 60 seconds, a process the company claims is far faster than a traditional full-body MRI scan, which can take over an hour. To use the device, an individual steps onto a platform above a shallow pool of water. The platform then lowers the person into the water at a steady rate, passing them through a specialized ring containing hundreds of thousands of tiny sensors. These sensors emit and receive ultrasonic sound waves, using the principles of echolocation to map internal tissues. The resulting data is processed by a powerful computer cluster to generate volumetric images.

Midjourney CEO David Holz emphasized that the core imaging technology currently relies on...
