MYOCARDIAL SCANNING WITH 82RUBIDIUM
By
Jonathan Bokelman, Donald Van Dyke, Yukio Yano, and Hal Anger
ABSThACT
The use of g2Rb for obtaining definite myocardial images was
demonstrated in 7 animal species (rat, rabbit, monkey, dog, pig, goat,
and chimpanzee), and experimentally produced infarctions in the dog
were clearly delineated. Type or depth of anesthesia (some studies
were done on unanesthetized dogs) was not a significant factor in
myocardial visualization.
Ten normal human subjects and six patients with myocardial disease
failed to show clearly recognizable myocardial images. Severe exercise
or increased dose of isotope did not aid in localizing the isotope in
the myocardium. The difference in the handling of rubidium by the
myocardium of man and by the myocardium of the 7 animal species is
unexplained.
