ABSTRACT
Purpose: To experimentally assess the damage to nuclear DNA (nDNA) and mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA), the quantitative content of mtDNA copies and their mutant forms (heteroplasmy), as well as the level of oxidative stress (malondialdehyde, MDA) and the activity of the antioxidant system (reduced glutathione, GSH) in lymphocytes and ovaries of mice after exposure to X-ray radiation at a dose of 2 Gy.
Material and methods: The study used female C57BL/6 mice aged 2 months with a body weight of 22‒25 g. The animals were exposed to X-ray radiation at a dose of 2 Gy. The assessed molecular genetic and biochemical parameters included damage to nuclear DNA (nDNA) and mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA), total copy number and degree of heteroplasmy (mutant mtDNA copies), as well as the levels of malondialdehyde (MDA) and reduced glutathione (GSH). Analyses were performed 24 hours and 7 days after irradiation.
Results: The results showed that irradiation of mice with a dose of 2 Gy led to an increased level of damage to both nDNA and mtDNA in blood lymphocytes and ovaries. It was demonstrated that the number of mtDNA copies increases relative to nDNA in lymphocytes and ovaries of mice over the 7-day post-radiation period. However, the increase in the total number of mtDNA copies was accompanied by an elevated level of mutant mtDNA copies. A significant accumulation of mutant mtDNA copies was noted (up to 15 % in lymphocytes and 18 % in ovaries by day 7). Furthermore, in both studied tissues of irradiated mice, an increase in MDA levels and a decrease in GSH levels were registered compared to control animals. The changes in all studied parameters were more pronounced in ovarian tissue compared to lymphocytes.
Conclusion: This study demonstrates that radiation exposure induces mitochondrial dysfunction characterized by mtDNA damage, accumulation of mutant copies, and development of oxidative stress. The pronounced changes in the ovaries underscore the high radiosensitivity of reproductive organs. Damage to mtDNA and subsequent mitochondrial dysfunction represent one of the key mechanisms of radiation-induced tissue damage, which is important for assessing long-term consequences, including reproductive disorders and transgenerational effects.

ABSTRACT
Relevance: With a deep and extensive analysis of ionizing radiation levels characteristic of outer space and determining radiation hazard factors for astronauts, the issues of assessing the radiation situation in air travel also remain relevant.
Purpose: Was to assess the radiation doses of aircraft flight personnel over a year of professional activity and to justify measures to reduce them.
Material and methods: When calculating equivalent radiation doses during aviation flights, data from the RUSCOSMICS server was used, based on 90 hours of flights per calendar month with an annual flight time of 900 hours. The levels of the effective radiation dose of flight personnel during annual medical examinations for the purpose of medical flight examination are analyzed.
Results: It was found that the radiation dose of flight personnel amounted to 362 μSv for a calendar month, 3.62 mSv for 10 months of the year, which is higher than the average annual limit for the population, but does not exceed the sanitary standards for aircraft crews (5 mSv). The economic effect achieved by reducing the radiation dose to flight personnel from reducing the long-term effects of exposure determines the relevance and practical importance of improving measures to reduce the dose burden on aircraft flight personnel. A set of measures to reduce radiation doses to flight personnel should include: accounting for radiation doses to flight personnel during air travel and monitoring compliance with regulatory levels, reducing radiation doses to flight personnel during medical examinations, and reducing radiation doses to flight personnel by improving aircraft radiation protection.
Conclusion: The analysis of the total annual radiation doses to flight personnel during air travel in conditions of background solar activity and solar flares, as well as during medical diagnostic examinations, justifies the need for measures to reduce them in the main areas: accounting for radiation doses to flight personnel during air travel, monitoring compliance with regulatory levels, optimizing radiation diagnostic methods to exclude unjustified radiation exposure of flight personnel during medical examinations, as well as the development of promising design solutions to improve the anti-radiation protection of the aircraft cabin.

ABSTRACT
Purpose: In the 21st century, there has been a clear trend towards the transition from 0.3‒0.6 T magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to strong-field (1‒3 T) scanners, and in its second decade, to ultra-high-field MRI (7 T and more). This work provides an updated review of research addressing the safety concerns associated with MRI in strong and ultra-strong magnetic fields.
Material and methods: The literature search for subsequent analysis was conducted by matching the titles of medical topics using the MeSH rubricator of the PubMed database. Then, a search was performed on this database and the Web of Science Core Collection (Clarivate Analytics) for the period from 2000 to April 2025. Additionally, publications on MRI safety issues were selected using Google and Yandex search engines, and works related to the future of magnetic resonance imaging were examined.
Results: Review articles and original research papers were analyzed, which discussed various aspects of the safety of MRI procedures. The publications cited in the article are research papers devoted to the applications of magnetic resonance imaging for both medical and scientific purposes. The requirements of electromagnetic safety in MRI were updated, taking into account modern domestic and foreign regulatory documents.
Conclusion: This article provides an overview of research results related to the safety issues associated with static magnetic fields, radio frequency fields, and time-varying magnetic field gradients in MRI scanners. The scientific literature has been summarized and critically analyzed using reviews by recognized experts, as well as domestic and international regulations on MRI safety. Based on the literature data, it can be said that the safe use of magnetic resonance techniques in magnetic fields up to and including 7 T has been confirmed by the successful clinical practice of using MRI scanners over the past decade.
Keywords: magnetic resonance imaging, strong magnetic fields, field gradients, electromagnetic radiation, bioeffects, safety of MRI examinations

ABSTRACT
Purpose: To study the frequency and spectrum of radiologic technician errors in MRI.
Material and methods: 940 MRI studies of different anatomical localization were retrospectively analyzed for compliance with the following quality criteria: “stacking/positioning”, “artifacts”, “contrasting”, “correspondence of the name to the performed study”. Patients aged 20 to 93 years.
Results: Defects in MRT examination were detected in 217 (23.1%) observations, while in 4.5 % of cases the examination should have been repeated. Most of them were “avoidable artifacts” (11.9 %) and violation of the rules of “stacking and positioning” (9.7 %). The most frequent errors in MRI performance were noted in bone and joint system (38.7 %), pelvic (29.0 %) and brain (19.4 %) examinations.
Conclusion: In order to ensure patient safety in the context of increased demands on the quality of medical services, it is crucial to pay close attention to the problem of errors by radiographers when performing MRI. The development of measures aimed at minimizing defects in the work of nursing staff will help to avoid repeat examinations and potentially reduce the likelihood of interpretation errors in the work of the radiologist.

ABSTRACT
Purpose: To assess the incidence of goiter (endemic) associated with iodine deficiency (ICD 10; E01.2) among liquidators of the consequences of the Chernobyl accident, employees of enterprises and organizations served by healthcare institutions of the Federal Medical and Biological Agency of Russia.
Material and methods: The work uses the information base of the Industry Register of Persons Exposed to Radiation as a Result of the Chernobyl Accident (IRRA), developed by the A.I. Burnazyan Federal Medical Biophysical Center of the Federal Medical and Biological Agency of Russia and containing information on newly identified thyroid diseases associated with iodine deficiency (ICD 10; E01.2). The registry database contains information on 8469 diagnoses of endocrine diseases, eating disorders and metabolic disorders (ICD 10; E00‒E90.9), identified for the first time, men ‒ 6678 (78.9 %), women ‒ 1791 (21.1 %), liquidators of the consequences of the Chernobyl accident, employees of enterprises and organizations served by healthcare institutions of the Federal Medical and Biological Agency of Russia.
The statistical software package Excel was used to process the research results. Original programs were developed to calculate absolute and intensive indicators and the growth rate. The incidence of goiter (endemic) associated with iodine deficiency (ICD 10; E01.2) was calculated per 1000 workers.
Results: The incidence of goiter (endemic) associated with iodine deficiency (ICD 10; E01.2) among workers of enterprises and organizations served by healthcare institutions of the Federal Medical and Biological Agency of Russia was assessed. The features of the structure of registered diseases in this contingent were established. The dynamics of the incidence of goiter (endemic) associated with iodine deficiency (ICD 10; E01.2) for this nosology for the period 1989‒2023 was assessed.
Conclusion: In the structure of newly diagnosed diseases of the endocrine system, nutritional disorders and metabolic disorders (ICD 10; E00‒E90.9) in male liquidators of the consequences of the Chernobyl accident, the first place in the ranking is occupied by goiter (endemic), associated with iodine deficiency, unspecified (ICD 10; E01.2) ‒ 14.3 %. In women, goiter (endemic), associated with iodine deficiency, unspecified (ICD 10; E01.2) occupies the third place in the ranking ‒ 10.7 %. The dynamics of the epidemiological process of goiter (endemic), associated with iodine deficiency, unspecified (ICD 10; E01.2) shows that this nosology affects workers of a younger age (the incidence of men aged 18–29 was 11.2 ± 1.3, 70 years and older ‒ 0.1 ± 0.1; women ‒ 18‒29 years was 10.3 ± 2.9, 70 years and older ‒ 0.1 ± 0.1. The aging of the contingent determined a negative growth rate both in men = ‒48.93 % and in women = ‒52.58 %.
