Safety is a big thing here as you can send x-rays to others and damage their bodies. You shuld also consult the safety laws. You may even need a license to make these machines.
You are not giving enough info about what you need, you get x rays with accelerating voltages from some 20 kV to 300 kV getting increasingly harder (more penetrating) radiation. You get more intense radiation sending more current trough the x ray tube, form some miliamps to several amps. Refrigeration of the anode is of course a big problem at high currents, But high voltage and irradiation risk management should not be taken lightly.
I think this link could be usefull
I remember that at the beginning of color TV there was some X-RAY radiation from the high voltage rectifying tube when the horizontal transformer was untuned or the high voltage was more than 30 KV.
Anyway, don't play with such things, we don't have 7 lives as the cats !
