The reason the Japs have more is that they are nearly all made in
Japan.

Once again, a made-up claim. Here is a list of ALL manufacturers of MRI
machines and their country of origin (for your convenience, they are listed
them in alphabetical order):

Esaote - Italy
Fonar - US
GE Medical Systems - US
Hitachi - Japan
Millennium Technology - Canada
Odin - Israel
ONI - Division of GE, US
Neusoft - China
Phillips - The Netherlands
Shimadzu - Japan
Siemens - Germany
Toshiba - Japan

Only one-quarter of MRI manufacturers are Japanese-based. One quarter is far
from "nearly all."

What about their market shares? I doubt Israel has a big one. What
about subcontracting? Where are the parts manufactured?
