Abstract:
The diagnostic workup of patients with cardiovascular disease is frequently challenging, and requires a multimodality approach to appropriately determine management. Depending on the presenting symptoms and their acuity, noninvasive diagnostic imaging strategies can include radiography, ultrasonography, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging. This article provides an introduction to the use of these imaging modalities for commonly encountered diseases of the aorta, mesenteric arteries, and renal arteries, focusing on how the acuity of presentation and likelihood of disease affects the workup of patients with known or suspected vascular disease.

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...
