Midjourney, the company best known for turning text prompts into eerily beautiful images, just made one of the more unexpected pivots in recent tech history. The AI lab announced a new division called Midjourney Medical, complete with a concept for a full-body ultrasonic scanner that looks like it belongs on the starship Enterprise.
Here’s the thing: while the headline references “accessing Mythos,” there is no verified public connection between Midjourney’s medical initiative and the Mythos token, the Web3 gaming protocol, or any cryptocurrency whatsoever. Official sources and reporting on the announcement contain zero references to crypto tokens, blockchain technology, or digital assets of any kind.
The scanner itself is genuinely wild
Midjourney’s proposed scanner replaces the two things people hate most about traditional MRI machines: the radiation and the claustrophobia-inducing magnets. Instead, it uses sound waves and water immersion to image the entire human body.
The specs read like science fiction. A target resolution of 0.5mm across a full-body scan completed in just 60 seconds. For context, a standard MRI scan of a single body region typically takes 15 to 90 minutes, and the resolution varies significantly depending on the machine and the protocol.
