Will there ever be something that will replace X-rays?
If you mean, will x-ray imaging be replaced by other medical diagnostic techniques, the answer is certainly yes. At this time, magnetic resonance imaging can give much greater detail and can be used for a variety of tissues in the body, other than hard tissues only like x-ray imaging. X-ray imaging is still used predominantly for simple diagnoses like bone fractures because it is cheap, simple, and fast. The technology for x-ray imaging has reduced the risks from x-ray exposure, so as long as it is the cheapest and easiest method for certain diagnoses, x-ray imaging will be common.
