Midjourney and Butterfly Network are asking how much resolution medicine actually needs.

The chip array and the AI create a new way to see inside the body.

A spa scan called a side-effect could reshape who sees your body first, and why.

Nobody saw this coming, at least I didn't. Midjourney, the company built on generating images that never existed is now trying to generate images of what's actually inside you.

The partnership with Butterfly Network feels a bit strange until you look at the underlying technical problem of turning terabytes of sound wave data into a clinically useful 3D image of the human body. It's structurally close to what Midjourney's currently does, but a different domain—one that is both essential and lucrative.

A Century-Old Assumption

Medical imaging has generally operated on the premise that better pictures make better medicine. X-rays gave way to CT. CT gave way to MRI. Each generation delivered finer and more appropriate anatomical detail. From this basis emerged the clinical confidence that diagnostic truth lived somewhere at the far end of a resolution curve.

Butterfly Network may be challenging that premise........
