      Usually its just a normal injection into a vein in the arm, so its just lie any normal injection you might get for anything else. The radioactive dye looks like water too, so it doesn’t even look dangerous.
      Sometimes we use different injection techniques, directly into a tumour, or even sometimes directly into a persons liver which is done in surgery, and can be pretty gross!
