Abstract

The nonhuman primate (NHP) is an important animal model for evaluating the response of the human body to radiation exposure owing to similarities between its organ structure, genome, life span, and metabolism. However, there is a lack of radiation dosimetry estimations for NHPs. The aim of this work is to construct a computational phantom of NHPs and estimate absorbed fractions and specific absorbed fractions for internal radiation dosimetry.
