The student scientific club of the department was founded in the mid-1920s. It became the foundation for the professional growth of many highly qualified doctors and prominent scientists, including Academician of the National Academy of Sciences and the National Academy of Medical Sciences of Ukraine D.F. Chebotarov, Corresponding Members of the National Academy of Medical Sciences of Ukraine O.V. Epshtein and I.M. Dykan, Doctors of Medical Sciences Professors V.I. Milko, D.S. Mechev, A.P. Lazar, R.P. Matyushko, V.M. Slavnov, D.D. Ivanov, as well as O.V. Kyrychenko, Yu.L. Stavytskyi, N.O. Tyshko. At different times, the scientific supervisors of the circle were O.Ya. Bohayevskyi, M.F. Zarkevych, V.I. Milko, M.M. Kondratskyi, N.L. Morozova, and H.O. Romanenko.

The aim of the club is to identify gifted students, involve them in clinical and research work carried out at the department, and prepare a scientific and pedagogical reserve.

In recent years, due to the introduction of modern technologies in radiology, students’ interest in radiation diagnostics and radiation therapy has significantly increased, which has led to a growing number of members of the department’s scientific circle. Currently, the circle includes both students who have firmly decided to connect their professional future with radiology and those who are still searching for their place in medicine. The department gives circle members the opportunity to participate in radiation examinations of patients at clinical bases, improve their knowledge and practical skills, and engage in the preparation of scientific papers under the guidance of experienced lecturers.

Each meeting of the circle is organized so that all participants can study the topic in depth. Introductory mini-lectures by the scientific supervisor or department lecturers on current issues are provided. One of the most promising areas is the practical component of each meeting. Students analyze the most demonstrative or, on the contrary, clinically complex diagnostic images. Circle members also prepare abstract reviews of domestic and foreign literature and present them as multimedia reports. An important part of the meetings is the discussion of interesting clinical cases, during which lecturers share their invaluable experience.

Circle members actively participate in conferences, congresses, and symposia on radiation diagnostics and radiation therapy. The results of their research are regularly presented at student conferences of O.O. Bohomolets NMU, international congresses, and the All-Ukrainian Competition of Student Scientific Works, where they have repeatedly won prize places and diplomas. The most active students are members of the O.A. Kysel Student Scientific Society and the Society of Young Scientists, and have publications in specialized journals.

Main areas of scientific work: Current issues of modern radiation diagnostics: ultrasound (US), computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), radionuclide diagnostics, radiation therapy (use of linear accelerators, in-depth study of external and internal irradiation techniques).

Clinical bases of the department where the club operates:

• Morphological Building, Department of Radiology and Radiation Medicine;
• Kyiv Municipal Clinical Hospital No. 18, Department of Radionuclide Diagnostics (03057, Kyiv, 34 Beresteiskyi Avenue).

A platform has been created at NMU for the development of clinical thinking, motivation of students for creative scientific research. Modern medicine is developing along with the latest technologies, which requires the doctor to undergo continuous training, mastering related disciplines. The active student scientific circle of the Department of Neurosurgery initiated a joint meeting with the circle members of the Departments of Neurology, Physiology, Pediatric Surgery, Radiology and Radiation Medicine, where the topic “Hydrocephaly” was discussed. A multidisciplinary approach allows us to solve the issue of an individual approach to patient treatment. Employees of the Department of Applied Hydro-Aeromechanics and Mechatronics of the Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute were invited to participate in the event for a comprehensive, in-depth study of the topic. The meeting was attended by more than 60 students of NMU and undergraduates, postgraduates and students from KPI and KNU.

At least two joint meetings with the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology No. 3 and Surgery No. 1 are planned by the end of 2023.On November 23-24, the annual scientific and practical international conference of young scientists “Annual Young Medical Scientists’ Conference – 2023” (AYMSConf – 2023) was held in person at the O.O. Bogomolets National Medical University.This conference was dedicated to the 142nd anniversary of the O.A. Kysel Student Scientific Society and was organized by its participants. More than 400 students, interns and postgraduates from higher medical education institutions of Ukraine, namely: Ivano-Frankivsk, Lviv, Vinnytsia National, Poltava and Luhansk State Medical Universities, participated in the event. The CIS of the Department of Radiology and Radiation Medicine also took an active part in AYMSConf – 2023 at the SESSION WORKPLAN section “GENERAL DIAGNOSTICS”, which was held in the lecture hall No. 1 of the Physics and Chemistry Building. Under the leadership of Associate Professors Mironova O.V. and Romanenko G.O., student research works were presented, which were carried out directly at the department, which is headed by Professor Tkachenko Mykhailo Mykolayovych.

The reports were accompanied by active and interesting discussions.Three participants: Boretska Anastasia Volodymyrivna (10122 gr.), Yevdoshenko Danylo Vitaliyovych (10122 gr.) and Chernova Darya Sergiyevna (11229 gr.) received diplomas for prize places. Certificates for active participation in the conference were awarded to all participants from the CIS Department of Radiology and Radiation Medicine.

The conference became a unique scientific platform for the exchange of knowledge and experience, which helped talented young people take another step towards finding innovative approaches in the medical field, inspired new scientific research. The department sincerely thanks the leadership of the O.O. Bogomolets National Medical University, the entire team of the O.A. Kysil Student Scientific Society and the Society of Young Scientists and Specialists for the level of organization, responsibility and creativity!

Theoretical meetings with the solution of clinical situational tasks are held at the department in the morphological building.
