Abstract: The present work mainly purposed to investigate significant nuclear structure properties nuclei used in single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT), in addition to ground state nuclear properties such as the binding energy per particle, the root mean square (rms) charge, and proton and neutron radii. Besides, we calculated the neutron skin thicknesses (NST), the proton, neutron quadrupole moments ($Q_{P}, Q_{N})$, quadrupole deformation parameter ($\beta_{2})$, and the proton and neutron pairing energies ($P_{P}, P_{N})$ to determine shapes and deformations of SPECT nuclei including odd-odd or odd-even/even-odd nuclei in axial symmetry for Skyrme and Gogny interactions. To analyze the accuracy of the calculated results, the calculated results were compared with available experimental and the theoretical finite-range liquid-drop model (FRDM), and discussed for 12 different force interactions. Notably, the results provide thorough nuclear data to the literature for deformed nuclei of SPECT.
