It is a privilege to write another introduction to this book. When I wrote this book inMunich in 2010, I knew I was writing a book with an uncommon combination, linkinginternal medicine to radiology. I can still remember the comment of my mentor Prof.Maximilian Reiser after he saw the manuscript’s content. He told me: “Why did youchoose this layout and these disorders in particular?” I replied: “They are the mostcommonly encountered diseases daily in any busy medical department.”I am pleased that the first edition of my book has helped many physicians I know tochange their perspective toward radiological investigations. I have been contacted bymany physicians here in Kuwait and outside of Kuwait who thank me for detailingwhat they should order and how to investigate certain diseases. In the same fashion,many radiologists are pleased with the variety of images that detail the medical disordersand facilitate their detection.Based on the past positive feedbacks, I aimed to expand the range of the book byincluding three more medical fields, which are not directly linked to internal medicinebut however are important to know. The second edition of this book exposes the readerto occupational medicine and toxicology, which are uncommonly seen as cases ofattempting suicide and accidental intoxications. The radiological literature is filled withdifferent radiological signs reported by many research detailing intoxications, whichhave become of great interest since the data have been accumulating over the years.In conclusion, I hope for the reader an interesting journey through the book, and I hope that this book can help someone somewhere in the world save a life.
