- yummyfajitas 17y agoFor a low quality scan (resolution about 1/3 what you get in the US). A 2 tesla scan (what you get in the US) will cost the same as in the US (though the government may subsidize it). I've heard it suggested that Japan got "scan-happy" (patients want a scan, kind of like how US patients want antibiotics for their virus), so they built cheapo MRIs to give them what they want.
