Peculiarities of use of luminescent and semiconductor converters of X-radiation in radioscopy are examined. Characteristic features of X-ray devices (electro-optical transducers, X-ray vidicons, gas discharge and luminescent converters), based on the use of luminescent and semiconductor converters are comparatively analyzed. Estimation of X-ray image quality is given. Use of gas discharge and luminescent converters is found to be the most prospective for medical radioscopy. The aforementioned converters are distinguished by high dose sensitivity, simplicity of the construction and greater size of working field.
