Examples of such devices include a radio frequency transmitter, a wireless receiver, a camera, a frame grabber, a beeper, indicator light system, or a transilluminator light. A novel collimator tube insert includes one or more integrated devices. A novel receptor holder includes a docking port for docking a sensor that is used for digital x-ray capture. A novel receptor holder includes multiple arms to allow a holder bar to be positioned in multiple positions for capturing different image types. A novel receptor holder includes a measurement guide for measuring a distance from which an image was taken from a patient. A novel alignment ring includes a sensor port and/or a radio frequency transmitter for transmitting data to other devices.
