Summary:This work is a review of scientific research on the development of nuclear physics methods and technologies for medicine. 1 The most relevant results, many of which are already used in the practical treatment of patients, are considered. New methods for improving the quality (quality assurance) of radiation therapy during irradiation with bremsstrahlung photon and proton beams are proposed. Methods for improving the accuracy of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) tomography of pathological foci in the planning of radiation therapy are described. In nuclear medicine, methods for producing radionuclides on electron accelerators for immune positron emission tomography (PET) diagnostics and targeted radiotherapy are proposed. New results in biomedical applications of radiation technologies (for food processing and sterilization of bioimplants) are presented.
