An x-ray machine works the following way: 1) An emitter that emits an x-ray burst. 2) X-rays pass through less dense objects (skin, muscle) and is blocked by more dense objects ( bone, tumors). 3) The x-rays that passed through the body hit an x-ray film. 4) X-rays darken the film were it is struck, and areas that were unable to pass through appear bright( bones, etc).
