It publishes original research articles which cover questions of radiobiology, radiation medicine, radiation safety, radiation therapy, nuclear medicine and scientific reviews. In general the journal has more than 30 headings and it is of interest for specialists working in thefields of medicine¸ radiation biology, epidemiology, medical physics and technology. Since July 01, 2008 the journal has been published by State Research Center - Burnasyan Federal Medical Biophysical Center of Federal Medical Biological Agency. The founder from 1956 to the present time is the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation, and from 2008 to the present time is the Federal Medical Biological Agency.

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: The study of the kinetics of the spatio-temporal distribution of cisplatin, as an agent capable of increasing the effectiveness of chemo-radiation therapy of solid tumors.
Material and methods: The material was the data of literature on the results of experiments of various groups of authors who studied the content of platinum in tissues on biopsy materials. The method of simulation mathematical modeling (in silico) is used, based on the biological patterns of tumor growth, morphofunctional changes in the structure of tumor cells and tissues. Model is based on reaction-diffusion equation system, coefficients of which are random functions of space and time. The model takes into account the sequence of processes from intravenous administration of cisplatin and its spatial distribution in various tissues, until the excretion of its addicts from the cell.
Results: The heterogeneity of the distribution of the concentration of platinum atoms in the tumor is shown. Perhaps this is due to the varying degree of vascularization of tissues, the rate of metabolism of the tumor occurring in the outer layer and in its hypoxic core. These processes lead to significant errors when evaluating the biopsy data obtained in the experiments and the analysis of platinum content in the biopsy.
Conclusions: The calculation assessments of the distribution of platinum atoms in the tumor are consistent with the literature on the concentration of cisplatin in biopsy samples for carcinoma. The results of the calculations on the described model are fair, taking into account the morphological type, the size of the tumor and the plan of the administration of the drug. For other conditions (cancer types, treatment regimens, etc.), new calculations are necessary. To increase the efficiency of combined chemo-radiation therapy, cisplatin should be introduced at least 72 hours before the start of radiation therapy.
Keywords: cemo-radiation therapy, cislatin, tumors, mathematical modeling
