Coolidge X-ray tube, from around 1917. The heated cathode is on the left, and the anode is right.

An X-ray tube is a vacuum tube that converts electrical input power into X-rays.[1] X-ray tubes evolved from experimental Crookes tubes with which X-rays were first discovered on November 8, 1895, by the German physicist Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen. The availability of this controllable source of X-rays created the field of radiography, the imaging of partly opaque objects with penetrating radiation. In contrast to other sources of ionizing radiation, X-rays are only produced as long as the X-ray tube is energized. X-ray tubes are also used in CT scanners, airport luggage scanners, X-ray crystallography, material and structure analysis, and for industrial inspection.

I don't know that the answer is wrong or right
