He proposed using the same monkey model to evaluate radiation exposure from sources inside the monkey&#8217;s body, which is actually very useful for nuclear medicine research. Alongside the main project, I ran additional computer simulations with different input files. These calculations took much longer than the first project, and I had to continue them even after the summer ended. After about three months, I finally completed the calculations and, with Dr. Jung\u2019s help, summarized the results into a manuscript.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here&#8217;s the 3D rendering of the monkey model that I used for the project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"785\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/danielspace.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/image-785x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-249\" srcset=\"https:\/\/danielspace.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/image-785x1024.png 785w, https:\/\/danielspace.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/image-230x300.png 230w, https:\/\/danielspace.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/image-768x1002.png 768w, https:\/\/danielspace.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/image-1177x1536.png 1177w, https:\/\/danielspace.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/image.png 1272w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 785px) 100vw, 785px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Below are the graphs comparing monkey&#8217;s radiation dose with those of the human models at different ages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"598\" src=\"https:\/\/danielspace.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/image-1-1024x598.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-250\" srcset=\"https:\/\/danielspace.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/image-1-1024x598.png 1024w, https:\/\/danielspace.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/image-1-300x175.png 300w, https:\/\/danielspace.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/image-1-768x449.png 768w, https:\/\/danielspace.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/image-1-1536x897.png 1536w, https:\/\/danielspace.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/image-1.png 1934w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"591\" src=\"https:\/\/danielspace.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/image-2-1024x591.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-251\" srcset=\"https:\/\/danielspace.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/image-2-1024x591.png 1024w, https:\/\/danielspace.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/image-2-300x173.png 300w, https:\/\/danielspace.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/image-2-768x443.png 768w, https:\/\/danielspace.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/image-2-1536x886.png 1536w, https:\/\/danielspace.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/image-2.png 1934w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Here&#8217;s the manuscript file that Dr. Jung and I submitted to Radiation Physics and Chemistry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div data-wp-interactive=\"core\/file\" class=\"wp-block-file\"><object data-wp-bind--hidden=\"!state.hasPdfPreview\" hidden class=\"wp-block-file__embed\" data=\"https:\/\/danielspace.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/20240914-monkey-InternalDose.pdf\" type=\"application\/pdf\" style=\"width:100%;height:600px\" aria-label=\"Embed of 20240914 monkey InternalDose.\"><\/object><a id=\"wp-block-file--media-dd23319a-2ecc-45f4-b04d-94f97ec77bc1\" href=\"https:\/\/danielspace.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/20240914-monkey-InternalDose.pdf\">20240914 monkey InternalDose<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/danielspace.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/20240914-monkey-InternalDose.pdf\" class=\"wp-block-file__button wp-element-button\" download aria-describedby=\"wp-block-file--media-dd23319a-2ecc-45f4-b04d-94f97ec77bc1\">Download<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>While Dr. Jung and I were working on a project studying the effects of external radiation, such as from accidents or terrorist events, on monkey models, he suggested a different approach.
