• Edema is defined as swelling from excess tissue fluid.
• Congestive heart failure is a condition that can cause edema but is not the swelling itself.
• Aneurysm is a bulging blood vessel, unrelated to tissue fluid swelling.

• Angiography is the X - ray of blood vessels with contrast dye.
• Lymphangiography is for lymph vessels, not blood vessels.
