The term "X-ray" refers to the frequency on the spectrum. The energy behind it can be very low, like ones used in the hospital for chest xrays, or they can be very high, like the ones used in the oil industry to check welds on pipes. (BTW the high energy used on pipes is high enough to kill a person. Think like a focused Hiroshima)
