AI 摘要

Midjourney首个硬件项目为全身超声扫描仪，将人放入水中通过传感器环，利用40个Butterfly Ultrasound-on-Chip模块、数千换能器和约2 petaflops处理能力，多角度发送超声波，约60秒重建肌肉、脂肪、骨骼和器官的3D内部地图。水作为介质确保超声波穿透均匀，无需手持探头。目标并非癌症诊断，而是体成分变化追踪，属于健康管理。首次公开站点计划于2027年底在旧金山Midjourney Spa落地，配备约10台扫描仪及水疗设施。长期目标为6年内部署5万台扫描仪、每月执行10亿次全身扫描，但该计划尚未得到验证。

Midjourney's massive pivot into the personal health and medical industries.

Its first hardware project， a scanner that reads your body in 60 seconds， with 'full-body ultrasound machine'.

The plan is to put people in water， lower them through a sensor ring， send ultrasound waves through the body from many angles， record how those waves bend and scatter through fat， muscle， bone， and organs， then reconstruct a 3D internal map rather than a normal flat ultrasound view.

The water matters because ultrasound travels cleanly through it， so the body can be scanned from all sides without a handheld probe pressing against one spot.

Midjourney says the system uses 40 Butterfly Ultrasound-on-Chip modules， thousands of transducers， and about two petaflops of processing to reconstruct 3D maps of muscle， fat， bone， and organs in about 60 seconds.

This is closer to ultrasound CT than hospital CT， because it uses sound waves instead of ionizing radiation， and it avoids MRI's strong magnets.

Midjourney's first target is not cancer diagnosis or organ-disease detection， but body composition maps， meaning repeatable scans that show changes in muscle， fat， bone， organs， and possibly training or diet effects.

Medical diagnosis would need FDA clearance， so the likely path is wellness first， then narrow medical claims one by one， rather than a finished hospital-grade MRI replacement on day 1.

The first public site is planned for San Francisco by end-2027， inside a Midjourney Spa with about 10 scanners， hot tubs， saunas， cold plunges， and a gym.

Midjourney says the bigger target is 50，000 scanners globally over 6 years and 1B full-body scans per month， but that is still a company ambition， not a proven deployment plan.

What is happening here is a bet that medical imaging becomes less like a rare test and more like a longitudinal record of the body
