I&D stands for Incision and Drainage, which is a surgical procedure to make an incision to allow for the free flow or withdrawal of fluids, such as pus, from an abscess or infected area. Bx stands for biopsy, SPECT stands for single-photon emission computed tomography, CT stands for computed tomography, and MRI stands for magnetic resonance imaging, but none of these abbreviations specifically refer to an incision for fluid drainage.
