not enough contrast for MRI?

When I had my l-spine done last month the tech could not get all of the contrast in my vien.  She may have gotten about 1/2 in she told me.  My vein kept rolling.  I really had a very sore arm and bruise!

Would that affect the MRI pictures?

I didn't.  I had to be in the machine for about an hour.  I have a very active bladder. :-o
