| Isotope | Half-life | Use |
|
52Fe | 8.3 h | The parent of the PET isotope 52Mn and iron tracer for red-blood-cell formation and brain uptake studies. |
|
122Xe | 20.1 h | The parent of PET isotope 122I used to study brain blood flow. |
|
28Mg | 21 h | A tracer that can be used for bone studies, analogous to calcium |
|
128Ba | 2.43 d | The parent of positron emitter 128Cs. As a potassium analog, this is used for heart and blood-flow imaging. |
|
97Ru | 2.79 d | A -emitter used for spinal fluid and liver studies. |
|
117mSn | 13.6 d | A -emitter potentially useful for bone studies. |
|
82Sr | 25.4 d | The parent of positron emitter 82Rb, a potassium analogue This isotope is also directly used as a PET isotope for heart imaging. |
