Specialties
Dr. Shackles is an interventional radiology and diagnostic radiology. His primary specialty is interventional radiology.
Interventional Radiology
Interventional radiology (IR) is a medical subspecialty that performs various minimally-invasive procedures using medical imaging guidance, such as x-ray fluoroscopy, computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, or ultrasound. IR performs both diagnostic and therapeutic procedures through very small incisions or body orifices. Diagnostic IR procedures are those intended to help make a diagnosis or guide further medical treatment, and include image-guided biopsy of a tumor or injection of an imaging contrast agent into a hollow structure, such as a blood vessel or a duct. By contrast, therapeutic IR procedures provide direct treatment—they include catheter-based medicine delivery, medical device placement (e.g., stents), and angioplasty of narrowed structures.
Secondary specialties
Diagnostic Radiology
Radiology is the medical discipline that uses medical imaging to diagnose and treat diseases within the bodies of animals and humans.
