No. X-rays can be generated by radium, but they are not used for any major purpose, and especially not for radiography. The X-rays used are produced by interactions of high-energy electrons; radium is not used because it generates other, non-useful types of radiation, some of which are dangerous to health - making strong enough X-rays would result in toxic amounts of radiation being absorbed by the patient.
