The paper describes administrative, methodical and educational activities for Moscow radiology service improvement. The Unified radiological information service is a main tool for work-flow monitoring, quality control (including peer-review on the scale of the megalopolis) and analytics. Analysis of CT and MRI examinations in out-patient medical organizations had been performed as an example of the Service using from management point.

Systematic introduction of a teleradiology allows to dramatically improved work-flow and resource management at radiology department of municipal out-patient hospital. It can be achieved cost reduction due to decreasing of a salary fund (59 %), photolaboratory maintenance (40 %), and utility costs (25 %). The saved money considerably surpass single costs for a teleradiology introduction. The labor productivity has considerably grown (a number of descriptions increased from 4,7 to 21 doctor/day). There are some trends of a doctors’ motivation growing, they become more responsible for a work quality and interested in personal development.

With the support of the Moscow Healthcare Department the pilot project «Low-dose computed tomography as a method of lung cancer screening» was launched in 10 Moscow outpatient clinics. Special protocols, risk group criteria, questionnaires, analysis algorithms, research description templates, tactics for conducting foci in the lungs according to LungRADS, collection of scan results, routing and organizational processes had been developed. During first 7 months of the pilot project 2846 LDCT were performed. There are 357 (12 %) patients with significant foci in the lungs, among them 3,1 % (90) were referred to an oncologist for a decision about PET-CT scan needs.

The article describes a novel ultrasound diagnostic mode for the detection of physical density anomalies. The mode is developed at the Research and Practical Medical Radiology Center. Its function is based on a raw radiofrequency data analysis. The data is received from the Doppler channel of an ultrasound machine. It is shown that a screening for small kidney stones and soft tissue microcalcifications could benefit from our novel diagnostic mode. We also provide recommendations on adjusting any ultrasound machine for improved calculi detection.

Nowadays most experts who follow the modern global medical community trends are aware of the English language knowledge necessity at a basic level at least. The lack of the unified terminology, the multiple items of the same concepts, lots of obsolete terms, incorrect spelling, pronunciation of eponyms especially - all these things are the problem of Russian medical language as well.
