Midjourney unveiled a novel ultrasound scanner designed to provide rapid, MRI-like body imaging in a water bath, but experts remain skeptical about its technical viability and clinical applications.

• Midjourney announced a water-based ultrasound scanner for body imaging, aiming to offer MRI-like results in 60 seconds
• Experts question the technology's feasibility, citing lack of evidence, physical limitations of sound waves, and comparison to established medical imaging methods
• Midjourney plans to market the scanner as a wellness device in spas rather than a diagnostic tool, avoiding strict FDA regulations
