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-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 ]
Other than 87 Rb, the longest-lived radioisotopes are 83 Rb with a half-life of 86.2 days, 84 Rb with a half-life of 33.1 days, and 86 Rb with a half-life of 18.642 days. All other radioisotopes have half-lives less than a day. 82 Rb is used in some cardiac positron emission tomography scans to assess myocardial perfusion. It has a half-life of ...
Rubidium-82 is produced from the decay of Strontium-82 through electron capture in a generator. It is used to access the blood vessels supplying the heart. Strontium-82 has a half-life of 25.5 days while Rubidium-82 has a half-life of 76 seconds. Heart muscles can take up Rubidium-82 efficiently through sodium–potassium pump.
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.
