Chicago, IL - Summit Industries, a manufacturer and marketer of diagnostic radiographic and digital equipment for the worldwide medical imaging markets, today announced that the Detroit Tigers have installed one of their AmRad™ Medical systems at Comerica Park to provide on-site diagnostic imaging capabilities for the players and staff. The x-ray system is marketed under the private brand, Merry X-Ray Integrity 1000, and will be used to screen and detect injuries for the Tigers players, team staff and visiting players.
