A resurfaced post shows Midjourney co-founder David Holz proposed launching a biomedical imaging division to reduce scan false positives
Story Overview
A March 2024 tweet from Midjourney co-founder David Holz floated the idea of a biomedical imaging division focused on cutting false positives during routine cancer scans. That old post resurfaced just as the company announced Midjourney Medical in June 2026 along with a full-body ultrasonic CT scanner designed for quick, radiation-free imaging.
Sound waves power the new scanner hardware
The device uses roughly half a million ultrasound transducers to capture detailed 3D views of muscles, organs, and bones in about sixty seconds, aiming for image quality comparable to MRI in many cases while avoiding radiation or strong magnets.
Timeline and real-world rollout stay open
A first scanning center is slated for San Francisco in 2027, yet details on pricing, regulatory clearance, clinical validation for cancer screening, or any explicit tie back to the original 2024 proposal are still missing from public announcements.
Many users voiced support for Midjourney founder David Holz's biomedical imaging proposal because they admire his focus on hard problems and entrepreneurial foresight in new fields.

what did he know
@willdepue tbh i want to open up a biomedical imaging division at midjourney to work on stuff like this
@deedydas im a pretty open guy 😅

@deedydas I think they should rebrand to medjourney now
@deedydas yeah their website even hinted at more projects especially in hardware
@DavidSHolz @deedydas I know the first location is going to be in SF, but I want to make the case that Austin makes perfect sense for the 2nd one.
A rapidly growing Bio & Health ecosystem, wellness/longevity are taking, & we understand its not just the tech, but you need to build full stack company.
@DavidSHolz @deedydas You are also a pretty anthro guy
@DavidSHolz @willdepue godspeed
@deedydas We should all be scanning the timeline.
@DavidSHolz @willdepue this is awesome
@deedydas @deedydas from Midjourney to Medjourney !
@deedydas You could say he was in the middle of his own journey this entire time.
@deedydas How interesting, I wish for him to succeed
@DavidSHolz @willdepue thank you for pulling through
@deedydas prediction for the other 2 hardware products they're launching?
@paularambles The best entrepreneurs can see into what the people will need in the future.
@deedydas Let me go see what else he been talking about
@deedydas and the paper “Whole cross-sectional human ultrasound tomography”, came our the next month
@DavidSHolz @deedydas Rooting for you boo boo
Very few people are working on the hardest problems in their fields
Never thought I could get bricked up over CT scans but here we are
@deedydas False positives are a huge concern because drs always advise to act on them. This guy is an idiot.
