This article contains information on the structure and number of medical radiological imaging procedures by type and organ group and the collective and average radiation doses in 2018 for patients served by the FMBA of Russia. The radiation dose from fluorography, radiography, fluoroscopy, tomography, and other procedures in different regions of the country was analyzed. Compared to the preceding period there was a quantitative increase in all procedures except fluoroscopy, especially computed tomography procedures, with significant reduction of the collective dose for all types of procedures except for computed tomography and the average dose per procedure for all types of procedures. A comparison of the dose metrics is made for diagnostic radiological imaging procedures in our country and abroad.
