Results: It is shown that the influence on humans of different types of radiation results in different risk levels malignancies.
Conclusion: For correct cancer risk estimation, the total radiation dose should be used.
Key words: cancer risk, doses of different types of radiation, the total dose

ABSTRACT
In accordance with the Labour Code of the Russian Federation and the Federal law dated 24.07.1998 No. 125-FZ, in the Russian Federation ionizing radiation that causes diseases associated with professional activities that give the an employee the right to receive compensation for injury of the caused harm to health, are divided into two groups: occupational diseases and industrial accidents. Unfortunately, a clear explanation to reasonably determine in what cases there is an occupational disease or an industrial accident is not given. This article offers an approach for clearly differentiating cases of occupational diseases due to exposure to ionizing radiation, and industrial accidents.
Key words: occupational disease, accident at work, ionizing radiation

ABSTRACT
Purpose: To analyze the existing approaches to the definition of radiotherapy interval and to consider a more precise quantification of this concept.
Material and methods: Superficial tumors treated with X-rays and fast monoenergetic electrons were used as an example of estimation of a new approach to radiotherapy interval. The characteristics of the dose distributions for X-rays and fast monoenergetic electron beams generated by irradiating the superficial tumors were studied. Dependence of the radiotherapy interval on tumor size for X-rays and fast monoenergetic electron beam was determined by the calculation method. The algorithm for calculation corresponded to the new definition of radiotherapy interval.
Results: A new approach to the definition of radiotherapy interval removes uncertainty and contradictions that existed in the previous definition.
Key words: radiation therapy, radiotherapy interval, X-ray irradiation, fast electrons, dose distribution

Challenges in Carcinogenic Risk Assessment of Medical Radiation Exposure among Workers at a Nuclear Power Plant
Southern Urals Biophysics Institute of FMBA RF, Ozersk, Chelyabinsk Region, Russia, e-mail: This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
ABSTRACT
Purpose: Explore an approach to the estimation of relative risk from medical radiation exposure and show a complex mechanism of causal relationship between exposure to medical radiation and the risk of cancer among Workers at a nuclear power plant.
Material and methods: The study has been carried out among Workers at the «Mayak» nuclear nuclear power plant. Nuclear workers underwent the combined exposure of chronic gamma and alpha ionizing radiation in a wide range of doses, and regular medical examination at the Central medical-sanitary unit of Ozersk. Information on vital status and cause of death was obtained from the Nuclear Personnel Register and the Oncological Register. The risk assessment was carried out on the basis of the excess relative risk model.
Results: The comparison of the coefficient of excess relative risk per unit dose obtained in the model for external professional and medical exposure showed that ERR per unit dose of medical radiation exposure (5.5 (95 % CI 0.3; 12.2) for solid cancers other than lung, liver and bone, is several times higher than one for occupational external gamma radiation exposure (0.13 (95 % CI 0.05; 0.2)). To a large extent, this is not due to a direct carcinogenic effect of medical radiation, but as a consequence of the effective detection of cancer by the X-ray.
Conclusion: The reason for bias in the estimation of excess relative risk of medical exposure is a reversed causal interaction between the analyzed factor and the effect. One of the possible solutions of to this problem is the risk of medical X-ray screening exposure (i.e. fluorography) analyses. Simple summation of doses of medical and occupational exposure to for calculating the risk is unacceptable due to the different mechanisms of accumulation of radiation dose.
Key words: medical exposure, absorbed dose, excess relative risk, medical radiation dose

ABSTRACT
Purpose: A historical review of emergent technologies and the development of positron emission tomography with radiopharmaceuticals based on oxygen-15 along with its application in contemporaneity.
Material and methods: The article presents a review of sources selected from international bibliographic databases.
Results: It is shown that positron-emission tomography with radiopharmaceuticals based on oxygen-15 originated from studies of brain perfusion in the early 1960th. With positron emission tomography invented in mid-1970s, these studies lead to deep exploration of pathophysiologic basis of a number of brain diseases, mainly ischemic type diseases. The article presents basic methods of positron-emission tomography with labelled water and gaseous radiopharmaceuticals based on oxygen-15.
Conclusion: Positron-emission tomography with radiopharmaceuticals based on oxygen-15 in contemporaneity is the only one direct validated method of measurement of a number of quantities characterizing the perfusion and functional capacity of the brain. The need to implement a large number of expensive technical measures prevents the wide application of this method.
Key words: positron emission tomography, oxygen-15, perfusion, brain
