Cross-sectional Interventional Service (CIS ) — A Guide for Patients Home | Preparing for the Procedure | The Procedure Itself | After the Procedure | Quick Reminder

Your internist or surgeon has asked a radiologist to consider you for an interventional imaging procedure. This website has been designed to:

The Cross-sectional Interventional Service (CIS) at Brigham and Women's Hospital consists of a team of physicians, nurses, and technologists who are expert at performing procedures using imaging guidance. These procedures can help provide diagnoses and may provide therapy in ways that are less invasive than surgery. The CIS doctors are trained in abdominal imaging using ultrasound, computed tomography (CT), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
Some of the procedures performed by this service include tissue and tumor biopsy, needle aspiration of fluid collections, catheter drainage of fluid, cyst puncture and analyses, and ablation therapies (including cyst sclerosis and tumor ablation). But whatever the specific intent, all interventional procedures involve manipulating tissues with the guidance of simultaneous imaging.
