Ultrasound CT Scanner Claims 60-Second Full-Body Scans Without Radiation or Magnets

Midjourney Medical announced the Ultrasonic CT scanner on 18 June 2026, a full-body imaging device using sound waves in a water medium rather than ionizing radiation or magnetic fields. The San Francisco company claims 60-second scan completion, a throughput that would substantially outpace MRI's typical 45–90 minute acquisitions. The approach eliminates radiation exposure and contraindications for patients with implanted metal devices or claustrophobia. The company is still in active hiring and pre-commercial development.
