ABSTRACT
Purpose: Critical analysis of existing and obtaining more accurate data on the spatial dose distributions created in the water phantom by pencil beams (PB) of monoenergetic and bremsstrahlung photons with energies from 0.25 to 20.0 MeV, and approximation of these distributions for the purpose of calculating doses in radiation therapy.
Material and Methods: Using the Monte Carlo method, the EGSnrc program and the MATLAB mathematical package, these distributions were calculated for monoenergetic photons in the energy range from 0.25 to 19.75 MeV in increments of 0.5 MeV, for bremsstrahlung photons with a maximum energy of 4.0, 6.0, 10.0, 15.0, 18.0 MeV and for the gamma-radiation spectrum of the therapeutic apparatus ROCUS. The calculation results are converted into the so-called dose kernel of photon pencil beam. The obtained dose kernel values are compared with previously published data and the observed discrepancies are discussed. Depths in water were studied from 1.0 to 40 cm in increments of 0,5 cm and along the radius from 0.02 to 46.0 cm with an uneven grid. For bremsstrahlung and photons with the spectrum of the Rocus apparatus, the possibility of approximating dose kernel values using approximation formulas convenient for calculating doses in radiation therapy has been investigated.
Results: On the basis of the results obtained, a new version of the library of dose kernels of a pencil photon beam for water was created, which differs from previous versions by the use for calculating a better description and modeling of the physical processes of the interaction of photons and charged particles with matter, more adequate data on the interaction cross sections and significantly lower values of statistical uncertainties of the results. For bremsstrahlung and photons with the spectrum of the Rocus apparatus, a mathematical model of dose kernels of a pencil beam is proposed, which includes decomposition of the dose kernels into components of the primary and scattered doses, approximation formulas and empirical coefficients convenient for integration. The values of empirical coefficients are determined by fitting to the results of the calculation of dose kernels using a combination of the random search method and the nonlinear regression method.
Conclusion: The results obtained in this work will improve the algorithms and increase the accuracy of dose calculation when planning remote therapy with photon beams.

ABSTRACT
Purpose: To develop criteria for rapid diagnostics of the health status of workers of hazardous industries according to the parameters of vibration imaging.
Material and methods: The object of the study is the personnel of the Moscow Regional Fire and Rescue Service (249 people), employees of the main workshop of the Electrohimpribor plant (EHP) (132 people) and operators of the scientific company of the Military Innovative Technopolis (VIT) “Era” (16 people, comparison group). The research was attended by specialists of VCMC “Protection”. The average age of rescuers was 43,4+3,2 years, ECP workers – 41,9+4,1 years, military personnel 24,4+1,5 years. According to medical examinations, a dispensary observation group/health group was established (in accordance with the Order of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation No. 36an). The examined individuals were also tested using the HealthTest program. The testing time was 3 minutes, during which the vibration image parameters were evaluated.
Results: To develop criteria for rapid diagnostics of the health status of workers of hazardous industries, 10 basic parameters of vibration imaging E1–E10 and their coefficients of variation E1_V–E10_V were used as initial ones. The weight load of individual vibration imaging parameters included in the system complex separating groups 1 and 3 of dispensary observation is calculated. For a formalized assessment, a probabilistic nomogram for identifying the functional state according to the parameters of the vibration image has been developed. The average accuracy of their recognition using linear discriminant functions is 96,8 %.
Conclusion: The improvement of medical and psychophysiological support of hazardous workers is associated with the development of methods of express diagnostics of their psychophysiological adaptation. Vibration imaging technology is promising for this, as evidenced by the results of the conducted research. The use of the developed one-dimensional multiparametric integral indicator as a “marker” of psychophysiological adaptation, which is a linear combination of vibration image parameters, allows for operational monitoring of the state of health. The developed integral indicator of rapid diagnostics of the state of health can be used to assess the effectiveness and sufficiency of rehabilitation and wellness measures.

ABSTRACT
Purpose: Assessment of the role of various factors in the formation of radioresistance is an important section of radiobiology, radiation medicine, including radiation therapy for hematological oncological diseases. The quality of drinking water, as it turned out, can significantly affect the radio resistance. Against the background of studying the antiradiation properties of various types of water, differing in mineral and isotopic composition, the problem of the influence of tap water on the course of radiation injury remained underestimated. This circumstance determined the purpose of the work: to compare the effectiveness of the effect of fractionated total X-ray irradiation in lethal doses, simulating total therapeutic irradiation of oncohematological patients, when consuming tap water and highly purified artificially mineralized tap water in an experiment on mice.
Materials and Methods: Female ICR (CD-1) mice were irradiated with moderately lethal doses of fractionated (daily 4 × 2.2 Gy
and 4 × 2.3 Gy) X-ray irradiation. After exposure, half of the mice received tap water as drinking water, and the other half received artificially mineralized drinking water.
Results: Keeping animals on tap water statistically significantly reduced the survival rate of mice under fractionated irradiation (χ2 = 3.88, p <0.05, log-rank test p = 0.049) compared with animals receiving artificially mineralized distilled water. In addition, in the group of mice that received tap water, an increase in the rate of death of mice and a lower safety of the group weight of animals during the development of acute radiation injury were noted.
Conclusion: Tap water, used as drinking water, increases the damaging effect of radiation with fractionated X-ray irradiation of mice.

ABSTRACT
Purpose of the work is to justify the safety in the operation of radiation sources in the center of nuclear medicine. The paper reflects the advanced methods of nuclear medicine using radionuclides, used at the site of the Features of Ensuring Radiation Safety in the FSCCRO of FMBA of Russia, for the purpose of diagnosing and treating malignant neoplasms. At the same time, a necessary condition is to ensure the radiation safety of medical personnel, as well as compliance with the requirements and standards governing the safe operation of radiation hazardous facilities. The paper presents an analysis of individual effective doses of medical personnel of group A of the nuclear medicine center for the period 2020-2022, as well as the risks of stochastic effects during exposure to an average individual dose for personnel of group A.
Results: Conclusion: a feature of the Features of Ensuring Radiation Safety in the FSCCRO of FMBA of Russia is a large concentration of radiation-hazardous objects on one site, which implies the fulfillment and observance of radiation safety requirements. The analysis of individual exposure doses for group A personnel indicates that the established control and permissible levels are not exceeded. At the same time, measures are proposed to optimize (reduce) the radiation load on medical personnel working with sources of ionizing radiation. The unique experience gained by the Center can be replicated when carrying out work to ensure radiation safety standards for newly built and existing medical institutions in Russia in order to provide high-tech medical care in the field of nuclear medicine.
Keywords: nuclear medicine, radiation safety, individual radiation dose, risk of stochastic effects, radionuclide sources
