Rb82 CardioGen82 Clinical Pharmacology

A

It rapidly clears the blood and is extracted by myocardial tissue in a manner analogus to potassium. When areas of myocardial infarction are detected with rubidium chloride Rb82 injection, they are visualized within two to seven minutes after injection as photon-deficient or “cold areas’ on the myocardial scan. It can be observed in the kidney, liver, spleen, and lung.
