TTA Celebrates USA 250! Midjourney’s body scanner promises a revolution and Butterfly a future? Hype or reality? And more!

An early close for a very big holiday this weekend–the 250th anniversary of United States Independence, a/k/a The Rebel Colonials Serving It Up Hot To King George III. And the UK and Europe returned this weekend’s 100 degree F temps (38 C) as a present…

Speaking of presents…our one story this week is a very deep dive into Midjourney Medical’s ‘magical’ whole-body scanner and the Butterfly Network ultrasound chips powering it. The Midjourney agreement is a substantial present to a once-promising POCUS company that was almost KO’d by the Devil of Demise after a cracked SPAC. Is it a future that Butterfly can bet on, or just another bridge to cross?

Set off fireworks (safely), drink up like a colonial, and stay cool!

Midjourney Medical audaciously promises a revolution in whole-body scanning, powered by Butterfly Network chips. Can the reality ever match the hype?
