No. X-rays are generated by a vacuum tube, something like the picture tube in an old-style TV. The regions of the electromagnetic spectrum identified as "X-rays" and "gamma rays" overlap; radiation resulting from an electronic energy transition is an "X-ray" and radiation resulting from a nuclear process is a "gamma ray" even if the two have exactly the same wavelength.
