Well the target inside of the tube is usually made of tungsten, molybdenum or possibly rhenium and that is where the beam of x-rays are actually produced. Then the beam is projected through the body and onto the film where many different elements could be used just in screen film. Calcium tungstate used to be a common film material, but now rare earth screens are more often used and they could be made of gadolinium, yttrium, lanthanum, etc. I'm not really familiar with what is used in computed or digital radiography yet though.

Why can concave lens produce only virtual images?
it can only produce virtual images because whenever an object is placed, a virtual image forms
What element can be used to produce X - Ray images?
True X rays are not produced by elements- they are produced by an electric current and an X ray tube. However, radioactive elements such as Cobalt and Uranium can be used to produce a radiographic image, and are commonly used to inspect welds in metals, However, they use gamma rays and not X rays.
