Table of Physical Characteristics of Radionuclides Mentioned in the European Pharmacopoeia |
The following table is given to complete the general monograph Radiopharmaceutical preparations (0125).
The values are obtained from the database of the National Nuclear Data Center (NNDC) at Brookhaven National Laboratory, Upton. N.Y., USA, directly accessible via Internet at the address: 'http://0-www.nndc.bnl.gov.library.newcastle.edu.au/nndc/nudat/radform.html'.
In case another source of information is preferred (more recent values), this source is explicitly mentioned.
Other data sources:
* DAMRI (Département des Applications et de la Métrologie des Rayonnements Ionisants, CEA Gif-sur-Yvette, France),
** PTB (Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt, Braunschweig, Germany),
*** NPL (National Physical Laboratory, Teddington, Middlesex, UK).
The uncertainty of the half-lives are given in parentheses. In principle the digits in parentheses are the standard uncertainty of the corresponding last digits of the indicated numerical value ('Guide to the Expression of Uncertainty in Measurement', International Organisation for Standardisation (ISO), 1993, ISBN 92-67-10188-9).
The following abbreviations are used:
eA |
= |
Auger electrons, |
ce |
= |
conversion electrons, |
β- |
= |
electrons, |
β+ |
= |
positrons, |
γ |
= |
gamma rays, |
X |
= |
