Milford, [December 2023] - TRG Imaging, a leading medical imaging facility in New Zealand, is pleased to announce that they recently provided an urgent CT scan for none other than the jolly man himself, Santa Claus. The iconic figure was in need of immediate medical attention after consuming an entire sack full of Christmas goodies, raising concerns about potential health risks.

"Santa has asked us to report that his CT scan results showed no lasting damage or concerns and to remind others that indulging in excess certainly carries risks.  Thankfully, Santa appears to be in good health and ready to deliver presents to children worldwide on Christmas Eve." said Toni Sinclair, General Manager at TRG Imaging.

As an integral part of his annual global journey to deliver presents to children all around the world year, Santa conducts a test run in early December which this year included New Zealand. With the absence of the normal Christmas Eve treats like milk and biscuits, beer and mince pies and carrots, Santa found himself wanting and couldn't resist devouring an entire sack of Christmas goodies in one go.  Unfortunately, the sack of goodies included a number of items that were not culinary.

Realizing the potential health implications, Santa sought immediate medical assistance at TRG Imaging in Milford. Recognizing the urgency of the situation and being well-equipped with state-of-the-art medical imaging technology, TRG Imaging promptly accommodated Santa's request for a CT scan to ensure his well-being.

"Santa Claus is not only a beloved figure; he is also an important symbol of joy and happiness during the holiday season. Our skilled and compassionate team of technicians acted swiftly and discretely to ensure that Santa received the best care possible.

With our advanced CT scanner, we had the perfect tool to investigate the full extent of his indulgence. We needed to find out what exactly our beloved Santa had devoured so he could be treated appropriately and the goods could be replenished before the big day arrives.  We called on the team at Canopy Healthcare Group to check the scan results and guess the items in an Advent Challenge.  The Radiologist then checked it twice to ensure the accuracy of the report.”

TRG Imaging is committed to offering exceptional medical imaging services to the local communities. TRG Imaging takes pride in their experienced team of technicians and radiologists, their cutting-edge equipment, and their dedication to patient care. This incident with Santa further exemplifies their commitment to providing prompt, high-quality care to all individuals, including those from the North Pole.
