Abstract

Based on the analysis of numerous literary sources and the authors' many years of their own experience in medical physics and medical radiology, a dictionary of abbreviations (abbreviations) that are most often used in scientific publications, guidelines, regulatory documents in these areas of high-tech medicine has been developed. The dictionary contains abbreviations in English, which are usually not deciphered in English-language publications, as well as abbreviations in Russian with the corresponding English abbreviations, if only they are available in scientific and educational literature.
