Abstract
Recommended half-lives and specific well-defined emission energies and absolute emission probabilities are important input parameters that should be well-defined to assist in ensuring the diagnostic and therapeutic efficacy of individual radionuclides when applied in the field of nuclear medicine. Bearing in mind the nature of these requirements, approximately one hundred radionuclides have been considered and re-assessed as to whether their decay data are either adequately quantified, or require further in-depth measurements to improve their existing status and merit full re-evaluations of their decay schemes. The primary aim of such a review is to provide sufficient information on the existing and future requirements for such atomic and nuclear data.

Thanks are extended towards Roberto Capote Noy (Nuclear Data Section, International Atomic Energy Agency, Vienna, Austria), Filip G. Kondev (Physics Division, Argonne National Laboratory, Lemont, Illinois, USA) and Syed M. Qaim (Institut für Neurowissenschaften und Medizin, Nuklearchemie, Forschungszentrum Jülich GmbH, Jülich, Germany) for their guidance in defining the overall content of this review. Auger-electron and X-ray decay data constitute two important features of the atomic-decay data described, and recent studies undertaken by Tibor Kibédi and co-workers (ANU, Canberra, Australia) in this area are gratefully acknowledged. This review would not have been so painless to undertake without the ready availability of various compiled and evaluated databases of nuclear structure and decay data (AME2020, ENSDF, XUNDL and DDEP, and related user-friendly software such as NuDat, Java-NDS and LiveChart of Nuclides). These databases and inspection facilities have been maintained and improved on an international basis for many years ‒ such commitment of effort on the part of individual decay-data evaluators and software programmers with the support of their research institutes is highly appreciated and gratefully acknowledged.
