Carestream Health's x-ray technology has been selected for use at the 2012 National Football League (NFL) scouting combine.

More than 300 college football players will undergo x-ray exams using Carestream's wireless, digital radiography detector as part of a comprehensive physical being conducted at Indiana University Health Methodist Hospital, according to Carestream.

The annual scouting combine is a week-long event where selected college football players perform physical and mental tests for evaluation by NFL coaches, general managers, and scouts in preparation for drafting new players, Carestream said.
