Abstract
Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (cardiac MRI) is an essential tool in the diagnosis and managing cardiac pathology. This pictorial essay discusses 3 patient case examples used in clinical practice. The cases are representative of very rarely cardiac involvement in Erdheim-Chester disease, where advanced imaging techniques play a crucial role in identifying and evaluating sporadic manifestations in the heart. Cardiac MRI is invaluable in providing detailed structural and functional information. Essential for comprehensive cardiac assessment, it is crucial in guiding effective treatment strategies and improving the patient's outcome with some of the most complex and rare cardiac conditions.
