Rubidium-82 (82 Rb) is a radioactive isotope of rubidium. 82 Rb is widely used in myocardial perfusion imaging . This isotope undergoes rapid uptake by myocardiocytes , which makes it a valuable tool for identifying myocardial ischemia in Positron Emission Tomography (PET) imaging.
Rubidium (37 Rb) has 36 isotopes, with naturally occurring rubidium being composed of just two isotopes; 85 Rb (72.2%) and the radioactive 87 Rb (27.8%). 87 Rb has a half-life of 4.92 × 10 10 years. It readily substitutes for potassium in minerals, and is therefore fairly widespread.

This is a list of radioactive nuclides (sometimes also called isotopes), ordered by half-life from shortest to longest, in seconds, minutes, hours, days and years. Current methods make it difficult to measure half-lives between approximately 10 −19 and 10 −10 seconds.
Rubidium-82 chloride is a form of rubidium chloride containing a radioactive isotope of rubidium. It is marketed under the brand name Cardiogen-82 by Bracco Diagnostics for use in Myocardial perfusion imaging . [ 1 ]

Although rubidium is monoisotopic, rubidium in the Earth's crust is composed of two isotopes: the stable 85 Rb (72.2%) and the radioactive 87 Rb (27.8%). [23] Natural rubidium is radioactive, with specific activity of about 670 Bq /g, enough to significantly expose a photographic film in 110 days.
