Abstract

The combination of nonhuman primates (NHPs) with the state-of-the-art molecular imaging technologies allows for within-subject longitudinal research aiming at gaining new insights into human normal and disease conditions and provides an ideal foundation for future translational studies of new diagnostic tools, medical interventions, and therapies. However, radiation dose estimations for nonhuman primates from molecular imaging probes are lacking and are difficult to perform experimentally. The aim of this work is to construct age-dependent NHP computational model series to estimate the absorbed dose to NHP specimens in common molecular imaging procedures.
