A technical dive inside our new "Midjourney Scanner"

Do you mind making the captions just a bit smaller?

“it’s time to get FUCT” - doctors soon

refreshing to see a launch video that stands on the merits of the product rather than just the merits of a viral video agency

we made the video ourselves too

the bravest pivot in history

Have to say I was shocked when I saw the results from my @midjourney full body scan.

Inspiring! We need more of this.

My company was building a similar Heart ultrasound system using robotic arms and repositionable arrays instead of a fixed ring of thousands of transducers. This approach faces real limits in practice. The data volume is massive and reconstruction is computationally heavy. More importantly, attenuation forces lower frequencies for any meaningful penetration, which destroys resolution. Bone, lung air, bowels, and other interfaces make it even worse in heterogeneous tissue. The polished labeled 3D images in their press demo looked like CT renders, not ultrasound. It will be telling to see how this actually performs on real patients instead of controlled demos.

there are definitely pros and cons to this approach but the images we showed are from the actual initial prototype and we feel there's still a lot of headroom to make it much better

I am not seeing pictures of real hardware here, and I’m not seeing a technical paper, and I’m not seeing something like data from an actual scan being made available online. I’m not going to say that I know that this isn’t real. I am going to say that you have to present more evidence for me to know that it is real.

@midjourney @josh_suhr Their launch video shows their actual hardware.

@perrymetzger @midjourney respectfully they have said that their work and images are from sims not real life. you can cheat sims and make them look better. im rooting for them but these are physics challenges and not typical software ones

NBD just disrupting Big Scan.

Navy already did it in the 50's

So this is where all my midjoruney subscriptions went to. good.

how long until this is a midjourney medical manual

cool idea

Did not have 'MidJourney creates MRI-killer' on my Bingo card. Awesome! 🤯

Wow, I did not expect that. Star Trek level tech here.

engage

babe wake up, new Fullbody Ultrasonic Computational Tomography device just dropped

welcome to the future sidenote, who the fk made that soundtrack? i need more of this music lol

max cooper, check out his music videos too!

thank you!

cool af

Incredible, great choice of music too, Max Cooper is awesome!

I was nearly halfway into the video before I realised the strip of speckles at the bottom of the screen was supposed to be subtitles explaining what is going on.

I saw this and I knew the founder had to be insane, went and read as much as I can about him , interestingly he did a project based on location through sounds and 3d and talked about it here Also interestingly none of the videos have more than 1k views, I have a feeling that’ll change very quickly

1. What?

"I want people to think more about the 22nd century. Remember how we used to talk about the 21st century? We almost don't even think it will exist." Love the hope for the future.

Neat! I've long been a fan of the ultrasound tomography. I hope this is usable soon!

Incredible. The medical and scientific potential is awe inspiring.

MRI companies watching this and being very happy for them.

You guys went from making goon slop to creating some of the most advanced medical technology on planet earth? Incredible!

Everyone thought it would be just another piece of hardware slop, but these guys delivered something unexpected and exciting. Legends.

Amazing.

People prefer listening over reading. I recorded my own voice-over for the Midjourney Scanner video because the subtitles are too small. Enjoy ☺️

very cool

This is awesome! Easy with the resolution claims though, it's physically impossible to image anything below atomic level with sound regardless of what the theoretical number is. Resolving molecules is utterly world-transforming if you can actually do it. "MRI scanner but fast and cheap" is way less than that and still amazing.

Incredible!! This is exactly what I hoped to see innovation in.

practicing humming in strange alterations to scan the machine in return and see if it likes it
