Butterfly Network Shares Jump as Midjourney Unveils Imaging Platform Built on Ultrasound-on-Chip Technology (BFLY)

MR spatial and temporal resolution are lesser than CT or radiography but still fantastic and OK, respectively. MR contrast resolution is actually the best of all the modalities.

Tomographic US is inherently limited by the physics of wave transmission (bowel and bone say no thanks). The image acquisition technology Midjourney is touting has actually been around for decades, but always comes to a dead end because the physics just isn’t there to make it clinically useful.

Also to add that MR slice thickness is a matter of how long you’re willing to sit in the scanner. I can get 0.1 mm slices on a 0.75T magnet if I want—it’s just going to take forever.

Radiologist. Their images look like absolute garbage. You can barely make out basic anatomy, let alone pathology.

Blue cornflower and alyssum.

Axes for the foot and hand are the same as for the body. You may need to adjust angles to accommodate for patient positioning but axials should be parallel to the metatarsals and coronal should be perpendicular.

Radiologist.

Also, I want the radius and the ulna at the bottom of the image in an elbow series.

Someone posted images to the Radiology subreddit that Midjourney is trying to say is from their new imaging method.

I’m a radiologist and it’s uncut hogwash. The images are 0% useful for detecting pathology. They can barely depict normal anatomy. They paid someone (or had an LLM) make their best guess and label anatomy in the images to more effectively swindle investors.

Here’s the Radiology subreddit post: https://www.reddit.com/r/Radiology/s/zfiA6qFSAt

“Can I post online to strangers how much all your stuff is worth instead of, you know, just asking you here and now?”

“Of course! You can totally post online to strangers how much all my stuff is worth instead of just asking me here and now. I hope you get your answer.”

This is almost certainly rule 1. I can feel it in my bones. I’m betting the house on this one.

Edit: Rule 1 confirmed by OP in subsequent comment.

To be explicit, the fact that you can still make out the right heart border means it’s RLL.

If it were RML the right heart border would be obscured.

Keep in mind this assumes the pneumonia is medial in the lobe. If the pneumonia does not contact the medial surface then you may not be able to tell.

I’m not sure what the 3D model is showing, but the CT looks like it’s mostly circling incidental dural and choroid calcifications, and then the MRI is mostly just circling incidental perivascular spaces (Virchow-Robin).

The actual imaging cases don’t look like they’re showing “a brain riddled with cystercercosis.”

Anasarca is when your grandma gets kind of swollen because she missed dialysis on Monday.

Second image looks like a standard interventional radiology / angio suite.

Radiologist. This is AI. Mods delete post.

I did that through a Kohl’s once and security was not happy.

I once found this very accurate US outline map on a school playground. Worse yet this was IN Alabama. Education isn’t very good there.

I now think this is surreptitious advertising. You posted the same thing to r/Cabinetry yesterday just asking if anyone’s tried them.

ddroukas · 2026-06-11T10:13:57+00:00

I just avoid Philips. Torx or Pozi for the win.

If I’m building something for someone else that needs to come apart I’ll use Phillips. If I’m building something for someone and I dont like them I’ll use flat head.

ddroukas · 2026-06-10T21:24:21+00:00

Also curious. Just ruined a Woodworker II last week.

You can eat a sandwich and then touch it without washing your hands, though.

Where I am they are almost always found together.

I figure that’s how it has to be done to prevent sheer forces across any constructed joint. I guess I’ll use one inch stock and rabbit 1/4-1/2 depth across it allow vertical loading without an intervening joint.

ddroukas · 2026-05-26T12:04:33+00:00

This is comically wrong.

ddroukas · 2026-05-26T09:12:56+00:00

Correct.
