The editorial board is constantly replenished by experts who work in the CIS and foreign countries.
Six issues of the journal are published per year, the volume is 13.5 conventional printed sheets, 88 printer’s sheets, 1.000 copies. The journal has an identical full-text electronic version, which, simultaneously with the printed version and color drawings, is posted on the sites of the Scientific Electronic Library (SEL) and the journal's website. The journal is distributed through the Rospechat Agency under the contract № 7407 of June 16, 2006, through individual buyers and commercial structures. The publication of articles is free.
The journal is included in the List of Russian Reviewed Scientific Journals of the Higher Attestation Commission. Since 2008 the journal has been available on the Internet and indexed in the RISC database which is placed on Web of Science. Since February 2nd, 2018, the journal "Medical Radiology and Radiation Safety" has been indexed in the SCOPUS abstract and citation database.
Brief electronic versions of the Journal have been publicly available since 2005 on the website of the Medical Radiology and Radiation Safety Journal: http://www.medradiol.ru. Since 2011, all issues of the journal as a whole are publicly available, and since 2016 - full-text versions of scientific articles. 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
Purpose: To study the potential of using radiopharmaceutical Sodium Fluoride 18F in order to reveal foci of malignant tumors in animals’ bones by positron emission tomography (PET).
Material and methods: Two experimental models (human prostate adenocarcinoma PC 3 and Pliss lymphosarcoma) were used. Tumor cell PC 3 suspensions were injected under a hip periosteum of the BALB/c nude line mice or outbred rats (Pliss lymphosarcoma). Radiopharmaceutical was injected into a tail vein of animals with developed tumors. Then PET scanning was performed for these animals.
Results: Effective half-life of radiopharmaceutical from blood was 9.45 min, from skeleton bones - 77.5 min and tumors – 99 min. The hyperfixation level of radiopharmaceutical in the tumor was sufficient to image tumors by PET. In areas of the tumor from cells of prostate adenocarcinoma PC 3 and Pliss lymphosarcoma the uptake rate of radiopharmaceutical was quite high during an hour that resulted in a high contrast image of tumors in animals’ bones. T/NT ratio tumor/bone in rats with Pliss lymphosarcoma was increased in the first 20 min after administration of the radiopharmaceutical, and then slowly decreased. Nevertheless, in 40 minutes after injection of the radiopharmaceutical T/NT ratio tumor/bone remained quite high – more then 1.7, and T/NT ratio tumor/muscle exceeded to 9.0.
Conclusion: The uptake level and fixation time of the radiopharmaceutical in tumor foci, as well as low activity value and its rapid excretion from intact tissues show the expediency of the use of Sodium Fluoride 18F to diagnose intraosseous foci of malignant diseases.
Key words: Radiopharmaceutical, positron emission tomography, 18F-fluoride, tumors, bones, animals
