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

This review considers literature sources on myocardial perfusion studies using positron emission tomography with rubidium-82. The history of the development of the method, the protocols of the study, the dissymmetric data are analyzed, and comparisons are made with other positron emitters that are used in clinical practice and research to study myocardial blood supply. The use of PET/CT with rubidium-82 makes it possible to obtain valuable diagnostic information and it allows to measure myocardial blood directly and make a separate assessment of the coronary arteries function. Due to the fact that the production of rubidium-82 does not require an on-site cyclotron and a radiochemical laboratory, this method of imaging is more accessible than other positron emitters used for the same purpose. Also, the study is not associated with significant discomfort for the patient, since the full stress/rest imaging protocol requires less than half an hour. However, the use of rubidium-82 has a number of drawbacks, including the relatively low sharpness of the resulting image due to the high energy of the emitting positrons. Also there is a necessity for a mathematical correction of the roll-off phenomenon, which is a decrease in radiopharmaceutical extraction with an increase in myocardial blood flow. Due to the short half-life period, the provision of stress tests with ergometers is difficult. It needed to use pharmacological stress tests. In addition, usage of rubidium-82 is characterized by a high cost both due to the expensive production of the parent isotope, strontium-82, and the need for frequent replacement of generators – on average, 11 to 13 times a year.

Key words: positron emission tomography, PET/CT, myocardial perfusion, rubidium-82, radionuclide generator 82Sr/82Rb

Abstract

The current paper is devoted to the outcomes of the 66-th UNSCEAR Session which took place in Vienna during 10–14 June 2018. Within the framework of the meetings of the Working Group and subgroups the documents on the following projects were discussed:

  • R.733. Evaluation of selected health effects and inference of risk due to radiation exposure.
  • R.734. Evaluation of medical exposures to ionizing radiation.
  • R.735. Evaluation of occupational exposures to ionizing radiation.
  • R.736. Lung cancer from exposure to radon.
  • R.737. Biological mechanisms relevant for the inference of cancer risks from low-dose radiation.
  • R.738. Levels and effects of radiation exposure due to the accident at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power station: implications of information published since the 2013 UNSCEAR report.
  • R.739. Second primary cancer after radiotherapy.
  • R.740. Epidemiological studies of radiation and cancer.

The Committee also discussed: the future research program; report to the UN General Assembly; implementation of a strategy plan to improve collection, analysis and dissemination of data on radiation exposure; public outreach activity including the strategy for the period 2020–2024.

Key words: UNSCEAR, 66-th Session, low doses, biological effects, epidemiology, medical exposure, occupational exposure

Abstract

Arrosion of the peripancreatic vascular structures is a rare, but life-threatening and it requires surgical treatment. One of the most common causes of arrosion is the presence of pancreatic pseudocyst. Imaging methods play a crucial role not only in terms of identifying the described pathology, but also in planning the tactics of surgical treatment. We present a clinical case of a patient, a 44-year-old male, with pseudocyst in the pancreatic head in the presence of chronic pancreatitis, complicated by bleeding into its cavity as a result of an arrosion of the gastroduodenal artery, which required endovascular embolization and drainage of the pseudocyst. This clinical case shows the possibility of endovascular embolization of the injured gastroduodenal artery with microspirals.

Key words: complication of pancreatitis blooding, pancreatic pseudocyst, pseudoaneurysm, gastroduodenal artery, embolization
