Midjourney's tank scanner is just hacked ultrasound probes — so why call it medical
midjourney revealed its scanner uses hacked ultrasound probes in a tank, but lacks proof it can revolutionize medicine despite its wellness ambitions.
midjourney released a 20-minute video with engineer marcin plaza showing its scanner consists of hacked ultrasound probes, raspberry pis, and a tank. head of medical tom calloway stated the company will launch as a wellness product focused on body composition to speedrun market entry without fda clearance. experts previously told the verge the company has offered little evidence it can overcome ultrasound's limitations. ceo david holz noted the lack of investors allows the firm to pursue the unconventional hardware project.
