ABSTRACT Introduction Accurate preoperative physiological assessment is critical for high‐risk patients undergoing lung resection to predict postoperative lung function. This study compared quantitative dual‐energy CT (DECT) perfusion with SPECT/CT for lobar perfusion mapping in an at‐risk oncological cohort.

Network Structure and the Efficiency Gains from Mergers: Evidence from U.S. Freight Railroads
ABSTRACT The trade‐off between market power and efficiency gains is central to antitrust analyses of mergers, but empirical evidence quantifying efficiencies remains limited. Using transaction‐level data from U.S. freight railroads (1985–2005), this article quantifies merger‐induced cost efficiencies, driven mainly by eliminating inter‐railroad ...
