MRI's are expensive and difficult to amortize for poorer countries or ones that don't have a great healthcare system.

Japan is a standout, and then you see most of the West just below them... Canada is way down the list.

Canada is towards the bottom. I see what you did there. I guess I never considered Canada a poor country or one with a bad healthcare system. But at the same time I was only there a few times to a major city and never interacted with their healthcare system.
