Since 2005, subscribers can purchase full versions of other articles of any issue only through the National Electronic Library. The editor of the Medical Radiology and Radiation Safety Journal in accordance with the National Electronic Library agreement has been providing the Library with all its production since 2005 until now.
The main working language of the journal is Russian, an additional language is English, which is used to write titles of articles, information about authors, annotations, key words, a list of literature.
Since 2017 the journal Medical Radiology and Radiation Safety has switched to digital identification of publications, assigning to each article the identifier of the digital object (DOI), which greatly accelerated the search for the location of the article on the Internet. In future it is planned to publish the English-language version of the journal Medical Radiology and Radiation Safety for its development. In order to obtain information about the publication activity of the journal in March 2015, a counter of readers' references to the materials posted on the site from 2005 to the present which is placed on the journal's website. During 2015 - 2016 years on average there were no more than 100-170 handlings per day. Publication of a number of articles, as well as electronic versions of profile monographs and collections in the public domain, dramatically increased the number of handlings to the journal's website to 500 - 800 per day, and the total number of visits to the site at the end of 2017 was more than 230.000.
The two-year impact factor of RISC, according to data for 2017, was 0.439, taking into account citation from all sources - 0.570, and the five-year impact factor of RISC - 0.352.

ABSTRACT
The present review is devoted to the issues of topical diagnostics of inflammatory myocardial diseases, problems that arise at the stages of primary data collection, processing and interpretation of results, as well as ways to solve them. The paper describes the basic principles of indication of focal pathological inclusions of radiopharmaceuticals by single-photon emission computed tomography and current approaches used in world practice to eliminate motor and respiratory artifacts that affect the diagnostic effectiveness of molecular imaging. Literature search was performed using electronic bibliographic databases, such as PubMed, E-library, Medline, GoogleShcolar.
Keywords: inflammation, scintigraphy, motion correction, respiratory correction, SPECT/CT, myocarditis.
