Abstract
Vasily Kornilovich Modestov is an iconic figure of medical science. His achievements include the establishment of the resort destination in the Urals, the development of Russian balneology and radiobalneology, and a number of important inventions and proposals that preserved the health of many soldiers during the Great Patriotic War. However, even among radiologists, the role of V.K. Modestov as an organizer of the country's first Medical Radiology Department in the development of diagnostic and therapeutic use of open radioactive isotopes is little known. In an attempt to correct this injustice, the authors consider the origins of Medical Radiology Department, the main stages of its formation under the leadership of V.K. Modestov.
