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 possibility of using SPECT with a new radiopharmaceutical 99mTc-1-thio-D-glucose (99mTc-TG) for staging lymphomas.
Material and methods: The study included 53 patients with a verified diagnosis of lymphoma (38 people – the main group) and adenopathy of non-tumor origin (15 patients - the comparison group). All patients of the main group underwent 99mTc-TG SPECT, CT of the chest, abdominal organs and all interested areas, ultrasound, and biopsy followed by histological and immunohistochemical studies. Five patients underwent additional 18F-FDG PET/CT. The reference verification methods were histological and IHC examination or, if it was impossible to perform it, clinical observation of the patient for a year with standard control instrumental studies, 18F-FDG PET/CT and 99mTc-TG SPECT. In the comparison group, 99mTc-TG SPECT was performed once before the biopsy.
Results: It was shown that 99mTc-TG SPECT made it possible to identify hypermetabolic foci in 75 % of the affected lymph nodes and in
81 % of extranodal formations established by reference diagnostic methods. The low sensitivity 99mTc-TG SPECT are due to the low diagnostic efficiency of the method in detecting lesions in the abdominal cavity and are associated with a high background blood activity and a physiological increase in the accumulation of 99mTc-TG in the kidneys and bladder. However, the method allowed additional visualization of nodal and extranodal lesions in 7 and 9 % of cases, respectively. However, the method allowed additional visualization of nodal and extranodal lesions in 7 % and 9 % of cases, respectively. A study of persons in the comparison group showed that 99mTc-TG SPECT has a high specificity (93 %) in the diagnosis of lymphomas.
Conclusion: The 99mTc-TG SPECT with has a high specificity (93 %) in the diagnosis of lymphomas and can be used as an additional method of investigation in the staging of lymphoproliferative diseases.
