In the presented review we discuss the problem of extraction the parameters of nuclear matter and charge distribution in stable and unstable isotopes. A substantial amount of information on the nuclear radii and other distribution parameters in light exotic nuclei has been obtained from experiments on intermediate-energy nucleus-nucleus collisions. The analyses of these experiments is usually performed with the help of the Glauber Theory. We review the main assumptions the Glauber Theory and show how this theoretical approach is used to calculate reaction and interaction cross sections. We also show how radii of nuclear matter can be obtained from the analysis of the experimental data on reaction cross sections. In the provided analysis reaction cross sections were calculated in optical and rigid approximations of the Glauber Theory as well as using explicit expressions. Numerical calculations of Glauber's explicit expressions for reaction cross sections were done using Monte Carlo technique. Recent results of the precise measurements of charge radii of light exotic nuclei which were done using the laser-spectroscopy technique as well as the method of the investigation of the nuclear matter distributions in proton elastic scattering experiments in inverse kinematics are also discussed.
