The purpose of this atlas is to illustrate how to achieve reliable diagnoses when confronted by the different abnormalities, or “disease patterns”, that may be visualized on CT scans of the chest. The task of pattern recognition has been greatly facilitated by the advent of multidetector CT (MDCT), and the focus of the book is very much on the role of state-of-the-art MDCT. A wide range of disease patterns and distributions are covered, with emphasis on the typical imaging characteristics of the various focal and diffuse lung diseases. In addition, clinical information relevant to differential diagnosis is provided and the underlying gross and microscopic pathology is depicted, permitting CT–pathology correlation. The entire information relevant to each disease pattern is also tabulated for ease of reference. This book will be an invaluable handy tool that will enable the reader to quickly and easily reach a diagnosis appropriate to the pattern of lung abnormality identified on CT scans.​

This book provides an up-to-date, comprehensive review of every aspect of emergency chest radiology in patients who are admitted to emergency departments with chest trauma or chest pain. The aim is to offer an unsurpassed source of practical information on imaging diagnosis of acutely ill and injured patients with this symptomatology. To this end, the wide spectrum of chest and cardiovascular emergencies are systematically categorized and typical imaging manifestations of these emergent conditions are illustrated in superb detail, with particular attention to the role of state of the art imaging techniques. The book will be an ideal resource for all members of the emergency team, general and emergency radiologists, radiology residents, and medical students.

This book aims to examine the transition of firms from original equipment manufacturing (OEM) and original design manufacturing (ODM) to original brand manufacturing (OBM), focusing on how businesses can evolve to capture greater value in global markets. It highlights the importance of digital technologies like IoT, big data, and AI in reshaping traditional business models, driving innovation, and enabling firms to move from cost-efficient manufacturing to building consumer-centric brands. The book provides insights into the challenges of this transformation, including structural barriers, market competition, and the need for significant investments in resources, innovation, and leadership. The book is divided into four sections. The first explores the historical evolution of OEM, ODM, and OBM business models and their transformation in the digital era. The second outlines key strategies for transitioning to OBM, covering global positioning, R&D, marketing, production, and supply chain management. It emphasizes the importance of design management, branding, and leveraging partnerships to achieve long-term competitiveness. The third section delves into sustainability and the circular economy, showcasing how OBM firms can integrate eco-friendly practices into their operations to enhance value and address growing consumer demand for sustainability. The final section provides an outlook on the future of OBM, with strategic pathways and policy recommendations to foster OBM business models. A deep case study in the cosmetics industry offers practical examples of successful transitions to OBM, illustrating diverse approaches and best practices. The book also introduces frameworks and tools for firms to assess and enhance their capabilities, providing actionable strategies for business leaders and policymakers. By addressing the complexities of moving up the value chain, this book serves as a roadmap for firms aiming to establish themselves as global leaders in innovation, branding, and sustainability.

The purpose of this atlas is to illustrate how to achieve reliable diagnoses when confronted by the different abnormalities, or “disease patterns”, that may be visualized on CT scans of the chest. The task of pattern recognition has been greatly facilitated by the advent of high-technology CT such as helical and multidetector CT (MDCT) and dual-energy CT (DECT), and the focus of the book is very much on the role of state-of-the-art MDCT. A wide range of disease patterns and distributions are covered, with emphasis on the typical imaging characteristics of the various focal and diffuse lung diseases. In addition, clinical information relevant to differential diagnosis is provided and the underlying gross and microscopic pathology is depicted, permitting CT–pathology correlation. The entire information relevant to each disease pattern is also tabulated for ease of reference. This book will be an invaluable handy tool that will enable the reader to quickly and easily reach a diagnosis appropriate to the pattern of lung abnormality identified on CT scans. And in this second edition, some more signs and several new diseases and their pattern have been developed and updated. They will be provided with imaging, clinical relevance and CT-pathology correlation. Moreover, the chapters and disease patterns in their order of presentation shall be somewhat changed for readers’ easy legibility and understanding.
