Abstract
The features of the interpretation and practical use of more than 100 radiological terms are considered. It is shown that in all three areas of medical radiology (radiation diagnostics, nuclear medicine and radiation therapy) there are a number of terms that do not meet the requirements that apply to scientific terminological systems. These terms do not meet the criteria of unambiguity, adequacy to the terminating concept, consistency, brevity and compliance with the norms of the Russian literary language, especially when directly copying the corresponding English terms. At the same time, it is important to ensure the correct and unambiguous interpretation of terms not only by professionals in the field of medical radiology, but also by specialists in related fields of knowledge. A brief glossary of radiological terms that are difficult to unambiguously understand is presented, which contains some of the most commonly used erroneous terms in this field, explanations of the relevant concepts and correct, according to the authors, terminological solutions.
