We have recently re-measured excitation functions of proton- and deuteron-induced nuclear reactions on Au-197 focused particularly on theranostic Hg-197m,Hg-g. The gamma-ray spectra evaluation revealed inconsistency in the gamma-line emission probabilities of Hg-197m. Detailed measurements of the separated Hg-197m,Hg-g samples resulted in a thorough revision of the Hg-197m decay scheme. In this short summary, we provide cross-sections, isomeric ratios and the yields of Hg-197m and Hg-197g corrected for the new decay data.
