While the title is disingenuous because it’s easy to misunderstand it’s actually very close to the truth. Xrays are just a very energetic form of light or electromagnetic radiation, above the spectrum of visible light. Until now we only measure the general brightness of the xrays, and osirix translates (even marginal) differences in brightness into different colors. This makes features of the same brightness easier to spot for a human. This new technique actually measures different wavelengths of the xrays on our detectors and since we call the different wavelengths in visual light "color" it's a good analogy to call them the same for xrays. It can differentiate different colors of xrays. This is really promising, nuances in chemical composition may lead to differences in opacity for different wavelengths.
