Well the target inside of the tube is usually made of tungsten, molybdenum or possibly rhenium and that is where the beam of x-rays are actually produced. Then the beam is projected through the body and onto the film where many different elements could be used just in screen film. Calcium tungstate used to be a common film material, but now rare earth screens are more often used and they could be made of gadolinium, yttrium, lanthanum, etc. I'm not really familiar with what is used in computed or digital radiography yet though.

What element can be used to produce X - Ray images?
