I have recently worked with x-ray tube and hence can explain you the generation of x-rays.
An X-ray generator is used to generate X-rays. X-ray imaging system includes an X-ray source and an image detecting system.
The X-ray tube emits electrons (from cathode tungsten filament) towards a rotating anode disc.
The point where the electron beam strikes the target is known as focal spot. X-rays arise from the
target anode disc at right angles and are then focused by a collimator and then the images are received.
Upon receiving the images, they are viewed on a photographic plate.
