This innovative scanner, developed in collaboration with Butterfly Network, uses a ring of sensors to create detailed 3D images of the body's internal composition. The scanner aims to offer image quality comparable to MRI without the associated drawbacks, such as radiation. While the project is still in its early stages, with plans to open a spa in San Francisco by 2027, it represents a significant shift from Midjourney's traditional focus on AI-generated images.
