Analysis of Terminological Inaccuracies in Medical Radiology

Abstract

Analyzed the current state of the terminological system of one of the most difficult sections of high-tech
 medicine - medical radiology. 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 for scientific terminological systems. These terms do not meet the criteria of unambiguity, adequacy to the term being terminated, 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 the terms not only by professionals in the field of medical radiology, but also by specialists in related fields of knowledge. A brief
 glossary of such terminological inaccuracies is presented, which contains some of the most commonly
 used erroneous terms in this area with appropriate explanations for each of them, adapted for all of the
 above specialists.
