A new type of container at the Wiesn arouses the interest of many.

Munich Mayor Dieter Reiter does not wish his visit to anyone.

Munich – That has never happened before: This year at the Oktoberfest there is a gray container in which a computer tomograph (CT) is located.

For the first time, injured Wiesn guests can be examined directly on the festival grounds using modern imaging.

A computer tomograph (CT) was set up at the medical camp.

Mobile CTs are otherwise only used in disaster medicine, said Viktoria Bogner-Flatz from the medical management of the city of Munich's rescue service on Thursday.

The first barrel will be tapped on Saturday - we will be there in the live ticker.

Wiesn innovation: CT directly on the festival site - clinics should be relieved

The CT is intended to relieve the Munich clinics, "which have done their best for two years during the pandemic," said Bogner-Flatz.

Because the number of emergency admissions increases by 30 percent at the Oktoberfest.

It is primarily about the diagnosis of head injuries.

The head laceration that you see is not a major problem for the care provided by the doctors.

"But the cerebral hemorrhage that you don't see is potentially life-threatening." This can now be diagnosed within minutes on a CT scan - and save many patients who only have the laceration a trip to the hospital.

Munich Mayor Reiter jokes about Wiesn-CT: "Don't know what the entrance fee is"

Each additional briefing from the Wiesn puts a strain on the clinics, said Mayor Dieter Reiter (SPD) when presenting the container with the device at the Wiesn medical station.

He does not wish anyone to have to visit the container with the device.

"I don't know what the entrance fee is either, but I suspect that it won't be cheap - at least for us." Nevertheless, consideration is being given to bringing the Siemens device to the Oktoberfest in the future.

The mobile CT container caused quite a stir in the run-up to the Oktoberfest, especially on social media.

Although it is undoubtedly a sensible measure to relieve the clinics, many Twitter users shake their heads.

"In the meantime, you can hardly get appointments with specialists anymore, but if you let a beer mug hit you on the head, you immediately get a CT scan of your skull," criticizes one user.

Wiesn: Mixed reactions to CT containers at the Oktoberfest - "That's a joke, isn't it?"

Others react in disbelief: "That's a joke, isn't it?" General Wiesn critics have also come forward.

"A CT at the Oktoberfest... This mass drinking is just sick." But there is just as positive feedback: "How practical is that please?", For example, one user is happy, for "absolutely useful" it is another .
