Radio waves, Microwaves, Infrared, Visible Light, Ultraviolet, X-Rays, Gamma Rays etc. are all Electromagnetic radiation, just at different frequencies.
In physics, radiation is any process by which energy travels from one body to another.
When most people hear radiation they think of ionising radiation, which is a radiation that is strong enough to ionize atoms.
X-Rays are both Electromagnetic radiation and ionising radiation, because of the later it is a health hazard.

Which types of electromagnetic radiation can be detected using telescopes on Earth?
They can detect radio waves, infrared radiation, ultraviolet radiation, x-rays, and gamma rays.
What percents of xrays are produced in a photoelectric effect?
The amount of xrays produced in a photoelectric effect varies. . . . alot.
What are the connection between eating meat and methane?
what are the connection between eating meat and methane?
What are any connection between the mass of a planet and the number of moons it has?

Radiologists work with these.
What type of electromagnetic radiation is used in airport security screening?
XRAYS
What is the difference in Umbra and Penumbra in Xrays?
Penumbra is the excess fog from scatter radiation
Is the dose of radiation more or less than an xray?
Since xrays, themselves, are a form of radiation, the question makes no sense.
Is there any type of radiation that can stops xrays?
No type of electromagnetic radiation has any effect on any other type. In order to 'stop' it, you need a material that absorbs it.

Are xrays also gamma rays?
No; gamma rays are considered a separate category of radiation, more energetic than x-rays.
Which type of radiation is used to make images of bones inside the body?
Xrays and CT scans
What is the connection between the ionising power of radiation and its penetrating power?
Low ionising power results from great penetrating power.
What are the positive effects of x-rays?
Xrays can be used for diagnosing lots of problems. They are a standard in most hospitals. Radiation is not good no matter what, but the benefits outweigh the risks and the amount of radiation is so small that you get more radiation walking in the sun in summer.
