X-ray imaging

Main Question or Discussion Point

What's the use of X-ray with angestrom wavelengh in imaging? Do you know of any good source to study more about that?

According to this site, the X-ray spectrum peaks at 60 keV with a secondary peak at about 68 keV. I believe most X-ray machines use a tungsten target.
