MRI, an imaging technique utilizing non-ionizing radiation to generate diagnostic images, is offered at Dr Mashao & Dzichauya Inc with the assistance of highly skilled MRI Technicians and Radiologists. In addition, anasthetic services are also available for MRI procedures.

What are MRIS?
Advantages of MRI:
- Ability to image without the use of ionizing x-rays to CT scanning
- Images may be acquired in multiple planes (axial, sagittal, coronal or oblique) without repositioning the patient.
- MRI images demonstrate superior soft tissue contrast as compared to CT scans and pain radiographs making it the ideal examination of the brain, spine, joints, and other soft tissue body parts.
- Advanced techniques such as diffusion, spectroscopy, and perfusion allow for precise tissue characterization rather than merely ‘macroscopic’ imaging and
- Functional MRI allows visualization of both active parts of the brain during certain activities and understanding of the underlying networks.
- Some angiographic images can be obtained without the use of contrast material, unlike CT or conventional angiography.
