Radionuclides are widely applied in different medical techniques for diagnosis and treatment. The efficacy of the treatments, as well as the off-target dose minimisation in both diagnosis and treatment depend, among other things, on the decay characteristics of the radionuclide in use: the different particles and radiation emitted, the emission energies and the emission probabilities. These are essential for the calculation of the dose administered to the patient or to medical personnel or caretakers in medical imaging or treatment with radionuclides. In this work we present the Total Absorption Spectroscopy of 152Tb for its relevance in medicine and whose decay properties were not well enough established.
