title: Luminescent screens for general X-ray diagnostics.
abstract: This article gives the main parameters of amplifying screens manufactured in the USSR: the sensitivity, the resolution, the modulation depth, the noise. The technical level of Soviet screens is compared with the level of those manufactured by certain foreign companies. The measures taken to increase the technical level of today's products and the further evolution directions are discussed. Data are given on screen production in the USSR during the last 5 years and their supposed production up to 2000.
