....................... is used to generate X-ray.
Answer: D
X-rays are generated with a Coolidge tube.
The Coolidge tube, introduced by William Coolidge in 1913, is the standard X-ray tube. A heated tungsten filament (cathode) emits electrons, which are accelerated through a high vacuum by a high voltage and strike a metal target (anode); their sudden deceleration and the excitation of the target atoms produce X-rays.
The Anger camera is a gamma camera for detecting radiation in nuclear medicine, not a source of X-rays, and 'West tube' and 'Mayer tube' are not X-ray tubes.
