Foreword
I was certainly pleased when Dr. Les Folio invited me to write the foreword to his new textbook. We have been friends for many years and shared our understanding of biomechanics and imaging of high-energy trauma as well as our diagnostic approaches. We share a similar level of enthusiasm to maximize the diagnostic potential of imaging in severe trauma and to optimize conditions to facilitate faster and more accurate diagnoses, when time is the most critical commodity of care. We discovered many overlaps in our practice methods, but not surprising, many unique aspects to each. Dr. Folio is a diplomat of the American Osteopathic Board of Radiology and American Osteopathic Board of Occupational and Preventive Medicine attaining Fellowship in both areas. He has earned master’s degrees in Public Health, Clinical Radiology, and Aviation Sciences. He has served as an Air Force Radiologist and Flight Surgeon and recently completed 20 years in the Air Force; his final assignment was at Walter Reed Army Medical Center and Uniformed Services University (USU). He is an Associate Professor of Radiology and Radiological Sciences and Associate Professor of Military and Emergency Medicine at USU. He has completed tours of duty in Iraq and has contributed his knowledge in forensic radiology at Dover Air Force Base in Dover, Delaware, studying warfare. If these many significant accomplishments were not enough, he has also earned a black belt from World Taekwondo Federation while stationed in Korea and is a certified Master Scuba Diver and a lifetime member of National Ski Patrol.
