Beta Emission as there is no change in the Atomic Mass of the atom but there is an increase in the atomic no. of the atom.

What elements compound is used to produce x-ray images?

An ordinary x-ray machine such as in medicine or an airport scanner, consists of a cathode and an anode situated in an evacuated glass envelope. Once accelerating voltages are over 50 000 Volts, x-rays will be generated at the anode. Ordinary cathode materials suffice, and these commonly have a tungsten heater, maybe with a thorium coating, for this material emits electrons easily when heated. The anode is the source of the x-rays, and commonly is angled such that the x-rays emitted will not travel straight back to the cathode. Because of the energies involved, the control of the direction of the x-rays is rather limited (read very difficult) and trying to focus the x-ray beam is indeed difficult. Control of the beam is often accomplished by having a small tubular opening in an x-ray opaque material, thus simulating an attempt at collimation. There are however x-ray sources that do not directly generate their own radiation, they instaed encapsulate a radioactive source which has inbuilt radiation properties. Cobalt 60 for example may be a source of neutrons, and one common use of this high energy source is for sterilizing medical equipment. Of course it is also used as a source for medical x-rays as well. In appearance, this material superficially looks like iron, and there has been at least one incident where a C60 source has been recycled (along with other scrap, in an horrific error) into reinforcing bars. It may be that Cs137 is also used as an x-ray source, but my brief search failed to find a reference.
