General Notices

(Ph. Eur. general texts 5.7)

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 at: www.nndc.bnl.gov/nndc/nudat/radform.html

In case another source of information is preferred (more recent values), this source is explicitly mentioned.

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 Organization for Standardization (ISO), 1993, ISBN 92-67-10188-9 or any subsequent revisions of this document).

The following abbreviations are used:

eA
=
Auger electrons,
ce
=
conversion electrons,
β- 
=
electrons,
β+ 
=
positrons,
γ
=
gamma rays,
X
=
