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: Review of methods for assessing cerebral energy exchange in order to select a method that has sufficient information content and a good degree of accessibility when examining nuclear industry workers.
Results: To assess cerebral energy exchange, PET, SPECT, and measurement of local cerebral blood flow using isotope clearance are used. These techniques use the introduction of radioactive substances into the body. Their use is limited by the high cost of the equipment and its stationary nature. Also, to assess cerebral energy exchange, the polarographic method (invasive), REG and fMRI is used. REG provides insufficiently accurate data on cerebral energy exchange. fMRI provides fairly informative data, but is also a stationary method, which limits its use in the conditions of a comprehensive examination of people working at nuclear enterprises. A more accessible method is neuroenergy mapping, based on measuring the level of constant potential (LCP). Currently, this method is widely used in neurophysiological and neuropsychological studies. An equally accessible and effective method is EEG, based on the data of which the value of interhemispheric differences (VIHD) in the power of biopotentials of homologous leads is determined, based on the power characteristics of the EEG, reflecting the activity of nerve cells and metabolic processes in them. The indicator reveals the degree of uneven distribution of power characteristics between the hemispheres; this characterizes the interaction of the activating and inhibitory parts of the nonspecific brain system during the formation of functional interhemispheric asymmetry, which reflects the level of cerebral energy exchange. The advantage of the method is its close connection with EEG indicators, which makes it possible to simultaneously assess the functional activity of the brain and its energy processes.
Conclusion: The EEG indicator of VIHD power of biopotentials of homologous leads is sufficiently informative and accessible for assessing cerebral energy exchange in conditions of mass examination, in particular of nuclear industry workers.
Keywords: cerebral energy exchange, brain, methods, assessment of energy processes
