Eklin DR used in Koko diagnosis

Koko, a female gorilla that uses a modified form of American Sign Language and lives at The Gorilla Foundation in Woodside, CA, was recently diagnosed with an abscessed tooth using technology from veterinary digital radiography developer Eklin Medical Systems, the company reported.

The firm supplied its portable RapidStudy EDR5 system, which employs a 14 x 17-inch (35.56 x 43.18-cm) active-area detector from Canon Medical Systems of Irvine, CA, for an exam of Koko's head, chest, elbows, wrists, knees, and hips, according to the Sunnyvale, CA-based Eklin.
