Rb82 CardioGen82
It is indicated for myocardial perfusion that distinguishes normal from abnormal myocardium in patients with suspected myocardial infarction.
Rb82 CardioGen82 Clinical Pharmacology
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.
Rb82 CardioGen82 Dose & Administration
The usual adult (70 kg) dose (single injection) is 1480 MBq (40 mCi) with a range of 1110-2220 MBq (30-60 mCi). The dose must be administered at a rate of 50 mL/minute not to exceed a cumulative volume of 200 mL
