as an ip lawyer, this is the correct answer. In the US, the copyright office even has an FAQ answer about this: "As per Compendium: Chapter 300 by the US Copyright Office, "the Office will not register works produced by a machine or mere mechanical process that operates randomly or automatically without any creative input or intervention from a human author." including "Medical imaging produced by x-rays, ultrasounds, magnetic resonance imaging, or other diagnostic equipment." " Even an ultrasound operator will not get a copyright in the ultrasound, because their work is not creative. IE while they are manipulating the location of the image, they are doing it to find your kidney or whatever, not for creative reasons.
