William Coolidge.invented the X-Ray tube.

Robert Ledley invented Diagnostic X-Ray systems.
The Cathode Ray Tube was invented by

Kálmán Tihanyi. Unknown to anyone including, Kálmán Tihanyi, Cathode Ray tubes emit xray radiation.

A German inventor

Wilhelm Conrad Rontgen discovered this in 1895 by accident, when some photographic plates near his work area began to glow when he turned on the cathode ray tube he was experimenting with.

Mr. Rontgen figured out how to use these invisible rays, he dubbed the x rays to make images that are still in use today. The Machines he used he did not invent, as he just used Cathode Ray Tubes you could by on the open market. He did research and draw instructions on how someone could use this tube to create X-ray images of the internal anatomy.

Conrad Rontgen called them x-rays because x is the unknown used in algebra and since these invisible rays where unknown he figured x-rays was a good temporary name for them, he thought someone would give them a better name later.
