Detailed Description

Physical half-life constants for common PET radionuclides.

Provides display names and half-life values (in seconds) for radionuclides commonly used in Positron Emission Tomography (PET) imaging. These constants are used for SUV (Standardized Uptake Value) calculations involving radioactive-decay correction.

Source

Values are taken from the NNDC NuDat 3 nuclear data search (https://www.nndc.bnl.gov/nudat3/), retrieved 2026-04-30. Each per-constant comment lists the recommended half-life and the experimental uncertainty (shown with +/-) from the same source. Half-lives NNDC reports in minutes are converted to seconds (value * 60); those reported in seconds are used verbatim.
