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
The article is devoted to development prospects of nuclear medicine in the Russian Federation. One of the first to provide nuclear medicine in Soviet Union was A.I. Burnasyan. He headed the 3d Directorate General of Ministry of Health (the FMBA of Russia at present). The Institute of Biophysics and the Institute of Medical Radiology (Obninsk), was established in the 50s – 60s of the 20th century, laid the foundation for nuclear medicine and developed it. With their efforts, nuclear medicine in USSR has become the world leader. However, in the 1980s – 1990s, there was a serious lag in this area due to radiophobia that arose after the Chernobyl accident, as well as the collapse of the USSR and the severe economic crisis, overcoming which in the beginning of the 21st century made it possible to pay considerable attention to nuclear medicine. Today the FMBA of Russia leads in the development and application of nuclear medicine technology. In the departments of the FMBA of Russia – the Siberian Research and Clinical Center (Krasnoyarsk) and Northern Medical Clinical Center N.A. Semashko (Arkhangelsk) – carries out high-tech diagnostics and treatment of cancer, neurological and cardiac diseases. Currently, in Dimitrovgrad city, the creation of the Federal High-Tech Center for Medical Radiology of the FMBA of Russia (FHCMR, FMBA of Russia) under the state program “Establishment of Federal Centers of Medical Radiological Technologies” is being completed. FHCMR, FMBA of Russia will provide high-tech medical care to the assigned contingent of the FMBA of Russia and the adult population of the Central, Volga, North-West federal districts. In the article noted the need for training specialists in the nuclear medicine. Training of specialists is already being conducted at the Training and Education Center of the Federal Siberian Research and Clinical Center of the FMBA of Russia. An important aspect of the introduction of nuclear medicine technologies and the operation of such centers are issues of legal regulation. The article pays attention to the licensing of nuclear medicine objects in accordance with the requirements of the Federal Law No. 170-FZ of November 21, 1995 “On the Use of Atomic Energy”. The tasks that need to be addressed for the development of nuclear medicine technologies are formulated, including through the implementation of the public-private partnership mechanism, as well as by expanding international cooperation with the EAEU member states.
Key words: nuclear medicine, proton beam therapy, radiation therapy, proton therapy center, radiopharmaceuticals
