Medical How do xray machines produce xrays?

[grimsheep]

If anyone has knowledge about how xrays are produced from xray machines could you please help me. Any information about this would be greatly appreciated and simple language would be great.

I already know that the actual xray is produced from an electron shift in the tungsten to a lower band. The shift releases an xray that is then channeled towards the affected area and then projected onto a photo film sort of thing.

I just would like to know about the physics used within xrays.

Thanks in advance :)
