I am assuming that you are referencing X-rays as the actual X-Ray Machine, in which case the Radio. There have been X-Ray like devices but more like using light and a reflector, and radios can be simple metal coils that act as receivers.

TELEGRAPH came first In 1832 invented by Samuel Morse while RADIO It first became a possibility when the English physicist Michael Faraday demonstrated in 1831 that an electrical current could produce a magnetic field. In 1864, James C. Maxwell, a professor of experimental physics at Cambridge, proved mathematically that electrical disturbances could be detected at considerable distances. In 1888, a German, Heinrich Hertz, demonstrated that Maxwell's prediction was true for transmissions over short distances. The Italian physicist Guglielmo Marconi then perfected a radio system that in 1901transmitted Morse Code over the Atlantic Ocean from England to Newfoundland.

What came first radio print or moving image?

Printing began in 1345 in Germany. Next in your line of query would actually be telegraph before radio. Radio in the early 1900's and finally moving image with the invention of movies in the 1920's, but before moving image there had to be the invention of film. The camera was invented in 1830, but it didn't use film and film came about in the late 1800's. So, in sequence I would put. Print, telegraph, radio, phone, camera, film, moving image.
