# Midjourney Medical 推出全身超声波扫描仪及 Spa 计划 - 来源：The Verge：AI（RSS） - 作者：Richard Lawler - 发布时间：2026-06-18 11:12 - AIHOT 分数：55 - AIHOT 链接：https://aihot.virxact.com/items/cmqixezha057fsl5wbh0bllke - 原文链接：https://www.theverge.com/ai-artificial-intelligence/952011/midjourney-medical-ai-ultrasound-scan ## AI 摘要 Midjourney CEO David Holz 展示了首款硬件 The Midjourney Scanner，一款基于超声波的全身扫描仪。设备采用环形传感器阵列，通过水下传感器从多角度发送超声波，约 60 秒完成扫描，捕捉肌肉、脂肪、骨骼等垂直切片。与 Butterfly Network 合作，每台搭载 40 个成像模块及 2 petaflops 处理能力，Holz 称图像质量“在许多方面可比肩 MRI”。Midjourney Medical 计划 2027 年底前在旧金山 Union Square 开设 Midjourney Spa，内设 10 台扫描仪及健身房、桑拿、冷浴。目前仅提供“身体成分图”，不涉及 FDA 诊断许可，用户可创建扫描库并与医生或 AI 健康工具共享。 ## 正文 Midjourney Medical goes from generating ‘cat images’ to full-body ultrasound scans The AI image generator says this side project will be ‘in many ways superior to even MRI machines.’ The AI image generator says this side project will be ‘in many ways superior to even MRI machines.’ by Richard Lawler Jun 18, 2026, 3:12 AM UTC “A scan of an imaging phantom, segmented to validate how cleanly structures separate under controlled conditions.“ Image: Midjourney Medical Richard Lawler is a senior editor following news across tech, culture, policy, and entertainment. He joined The Verge in 2021 after several years covering news at Engadget. Midjourney CEO David Holz just showed off the company’s first hardware product and plans to build a San Francisco spa, which he admitted is a bit different from the “cat pictures” produced by its AI image generator. Dubbed The Midjourney Scanner, it’s an ultrasound-based full-body scanner that uses a ring of sensors to capture vertical slices of the inside of your body, looking at the composition of your muscle, fat, bone, and organs to start. Holz said ideally, you could do this once a year or every single day, as it “aims for image quality comparable to MRI in many ways.” He mentioned that one way he’d like to use it would be to see how his body changes in response to diet and workout changes, saying, “I’m not the most measured man on Earth yet, you know, but maybe I want to have that daily [measurable information]. A set of job listings advertises the company’s goal as trying to “build and launch the world’s first full-body ultrasound CT scanner, ultimately bringing safe, fast, and high fidelity preventative scanning to billions via a magical spa experience.” The Midjourney Scanner was developed in a partnership with ultrasound tech company Butterfly Network, which said it uses “40 Butterfly Ultrasound-on-Chip™ imaging modules per system.” This is Midjourney’s AI segmentation overlay of a black-and-white ultrasound scan. Image: Midjourney Medical The scanning process starts with stepping onto a platform that drops down into the water on rails through a ring of thousands of transducers that create ultrasonic waves and then record the ripples from them passing through your body to analyze them and create detailed 3D images, saying the scan will take about 60 seconds. Holz said about a dozen people have been scanned so far. Here’s how Midjourney describes it: It starts by stepping into a shallow pool of golden light. You then begin to descend into the water. Your body passes through a ring of underwater sensors, each acting like a dolphin, using its echolocation. The sensors send ultrasonic sound waves through your body from every angle. With enough waves, and enough angles, we form an image of what’s happening inside your body. It combines those sensors with two petaflops of processing power. But after watching the livestreamed reveal, I’m still unclear on what Midjourney’s AI image generation tech exactly has to do with the Midjourney Medical effort, beyond an alternative business for otherwise-unused AI compute. Image: Midjourney Holz hopes to put 10 of the scanners into a Midjourney Spa location in San Francisco’s Union Square that will open before the end of 2027, and offered to scan the hands of attendees at its launch event. The Midjourney Spa will have a gym, saunas, and cold plunges to go along with the hot tub-equipped scanning rooms where visitors will get into the water to be scanned. He did mention that various medical applications would require FDA clearances, but for now, Midjourney Medical says it’s working on “body composition maps” that don’t require the same level of clearance as diagnostic imaging. It also says the “library of scans” users create can be shared with doctors, AI health tools, or others, and that “We take data privacy seriously — more details on our data policies will come as we get closer to launch.” Holz suggested that eventually these scans could become better than an MRI, without radiation, powerful magnets, or other complicating factors, to get a look at what’s going on inside people’s bodies “real fast.” In response to a question, he imagined a future where the FDA had a class of devices to look at “weird” things and allowed people to “just try to get as much data as we can.” Follow topics and authors from this story to see more like this in your personalized homepage feed and to receive email updates.
