I got an MRI today and on the way home, I was thinking..............why didnt the guy doing the test inject the dye into the bad arm.Does it matter which arm the dye was injected into?

When Dustin had his MRI they injected his good arm.
Hope they can get some answeres for you.

It doesn't matter what vein they use, the dye goes through your entire system (body), it does not discriminate the good or bad arm or any other body part.

null,
i would strongly suggest that unless it is an emergency, you should never allow them to stick you in the BPI arm. Because of decrese circulation you have a higher risk for infection !!!

Thank you all for giving the same answer to my question.I was VERY scared they put the dye in the wrong arm.Thanks again!!
