Abstract:
Magnetic resonance imaging and thermography were performed in a 67-year-old man with idiopathic facial angioedema. Thermography suggested decreased heat emission in the region of the angioedema. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed diffuse high intensity in the subcutaneous interstitial tissue and dilated veins on T2-weighted images. Marked contrast enhancement was noted in the subcutaneous tissue on postcontrast T1-weighted images.

Types of Echocardiography
Transthoracic Echocardiography (TTE)
TTE is the most common type of echocardiogram which involves placing a transducer on the patient's chest, emitting sound waves to create heart images. TTE is invaluable for evaluating the heart's size, structure, and motion, making it particularly useful for diagnosing...

Definition and Purpose
An X-ray, or radiograph, is a non-invasive method that uses ionizing radiation to take images of internal structures. It is mainly used in cardiac imaging to examine the heart, lungs, and major blood vessels, aiming to identify abnormalities in the heart's size, shape, and position, such as heart failure, congenital defects, and vascular...
