The editorial board consists of academicians (members of the Russian Academy of Science (RAS)), the full member of Academy of Medical Sciences of the Republic of Armenia, corresponding members of the RAS, Doctors of Medicine, professor, candidates and doctors of biological, physical mathematics and engineering sciences. The editorial board is constantly replenished by experts who work in the CIS and foreign countries.
Six issues of the journal are published per year, the volume is 13.5 conventional printed sheets, 88 printer’s sheets, 1.000 copies. The journal has an identical full-text electronic version, which, simultaneously with the printed version and color drawings, is posted on the sites of the Scientific Electronic Library (SEL) and the journal's website. The journal is distributed through the Rospechat Agency under the contract № 7407 of June 16, 2006, through individual buyers and commercial structures. The publication of articles is free.
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: Demonstrate the possibility of using 99mTc-PSMA SPECT/CT to visualize Hodgkin’s lymphoma at the diagnostic stage, as well as during therapy.
Material and methods: The patient diagnosed with Hodgkin’s lymphoma underwent standard studies – computed tomography with intravenous contrast, as well as PET/CT with 18F-FDG. Additionally, 99mTc-PSMA SPECT/CT was performed.
Results: A clinical case of Hodgkin’s lymphoma with mediastinal lesions in a young patient is described. The possibility of modern nuclear medicine methods in the diagnosis of Hodgkin’s lymphoma is demonstrated. SPECT/CT with 99mTc-PSMA was performed as an alternative diagnostic method when it is impossible to perform PET/CT with 18F-FDG at the stage of specific treatment.
Conclusion: The article presents a clinical case of Hodgkin’s lymphoma with mediastinal involvement in a young patient. The capabilities of SPECT/CT with 99mTc-PSMA for visualization of mediastinal lesions was demonstrated.
Keywords: Hodgkin’s lymphoma, prostate-specific membrane antigen, SPECT/CT, 99mTc-PSMA
