News AI Midjourney, the AI image generator, is developing a full-body ultrasonic scanner And it's building spas where you can get your body scanned. By Mariella Moon Updated: June 23, 2026 2:22 am EST Midjourney Midjourney , known for its AI program that can generate images from text prompts, has announced its new project: A medical machine that can scan your whole body in just 60 seconds. It's so far removed from what Midjourney is known for that we had to check the date and make sure it wasn't April 1st. Well, it's not April Fools: The Midjourney Scanner is real, and the company is even building spas where you can find the machines and get scanned. In its announcement, Midjourney admitted that the project is not related to anything we've seen from the company so far. However, it's at the point where it's asking itself "How do we want to be different?" and "What do we want to become?" Its answer to those questions, apparently, is to launch Midjourney Medical, with the Scanner being its first hardware product.
"We've dreamed of something as powerful as MRI, and as casual as a trip to the spa, and we're unveiling a path to that – today," it wrote in its blog post. After you step on a platform, Midjourney's scanner will submerge you in water at a rate of 2 inches per second. Your body passes through a ring made of half a million squares the size of a grain of sand, with each one of them capable of emitting ultrasonic waves and of recording the ripples that bounce off your body and back to it. The company compares them to dolphins that use echolocation, so going through a scan is like being surrounded by half a million tiny dolphins from every angle.
