Abstract
An extensive series of evaluations have been performed as part of an IAEA coordinated research project to study a set of
nuclear reactions that produce the diagnostic gamma-ray emitting radionuclides 51Cr, 99mTc, 111In, 123I and 201Tl. Recommended cross-section data in the form of excitation functions have been derived, along with quantifications of their
uncertainties. These evaluations involved the compilation of all previously published values and newly measured experimental data, followed by critical assessments and selection of those experimental datasets and accompanying uncertainties
judged to be fully valid and statistically consistent for model-independent least-squares fitting by means of Pade´
approximations. Integral yields as a function of the energy were also calculated on the basis of the recommended cross
sections deduced from these various fits. All evaluated numerical results and their corresponding uncertainties are available
online at www-nds.iaea.org/medical/gamma_emitters.html and also on the medical portal of the International Atomic
Energy Agency/Nuclear Data Section (IAEA-NDS) www-nds.iaea.org/medportal/.
