“…In comparison with 2018, the collective dose increased from 1512.88 man-Sv to 2411.87 man-Sv, and the average dose for all procedures increased from 0.26 mSv to 0.45 mSv, which is attributed to significant increase in the procedures of computer tomography (from 186 723 to 348 773). Herewith, the number of radiological procedures significantly decreased in 2020 in comparison with 2018: from 6 462 824 to 5 383 553, mostly due to a decrease in the number of fluorography and radiography procedures [ 4 ].…”

This article presents information about the radiation environment and radiation doses of the population received in 2020 in the territories monitored by FMBA. The information is based on analysis, processing, and generalization of data from radiation hygienic certificates of companies and territories monitored by the FMBA for 2020. The average annual individual radiation doses of population in 2020 due to natural and technogenic modified radiation background are presented. The information about the structure, number of X-ray radiation procedures are presented classified by types and groups of organs, collective and average radiation dose of population received in 2020 in the territories monitored by FMBA. In quantitative terms, fluorograms and radiograms prevail. Significant decrease in the number of X-ray procedures is observed in 2020 in comparison with 2018 mainly to decrease in the number of fluorography and radiography procedures. Herewith, in comparison with 2018 the collective and average doses have increased, which is attributed to significant increase in the number of computer tomography procedures. Significant increase in the contribution of computer tomography to the collective dose is mentioned in comparison with previous years (more than 20% growth from 2018 to 2020) at its insignificant contribution in terms of the number of procedures. This fact is attributed to significant increase of tomographic examinations during the coronavirus pandemic. The radiation doses received during fluorography, radiography, radioscopy, tomography, and other procedures are analyzed. The dose characteristics during X-ray cardiac procedures in Russia and France are compared.
