Some MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) tests require the injection of a contrast die to highlight blood vessels. The die is injected into the arm either directly or through an IV.

An IV is started to inject dye for an MRI. Generally, the site is a vein on the underside of the forearm.

Contrast injection for MRI scan is usually give in a easy detectable and pressure resistant vein in a arm; consider that not all the MRI studies need to be completed with contrast-enhanced images, so it's possible that you won't have to get any injection, it depends from the body part and the clinic.

The most common is through an i. v. in the hand. Injections into a muscle in the buttock or the spinal column is much more rare.
