When reading SPECT data without radionuclide information it defaults to 99mTc.

This is likely due to

RadionuclideDB::get_radionuclide(ImagingModality rmodality, const std::string& rname)
{
// handle default case
if (rname.empty() || rname == "default")
{
if (rmodality.get_modality() == ImagingModality::PT)
return get_radionuclide(rmodality, "^18^Fluorine");
else if (rmodality.get_modality() == ImagingModality::NM)
return get_radionuclide(rmodality, "^99m^Technetium");
else
{
warning(std::string("RadioNuclideDB::get_radionuclide: unknown modality. Returning \"unknown\" radionuclide."));
return Radionuclide();
