Charité - Universitätsmedizin Berlin, in the heart of Berlin, is one of the largest and most renowned university hospitals in Europe, with roots reaching back to 1710 and a joint medical faculty of Humboldt University and the Free University of Berlin. Spread across several campuses with around 3000 beds and more than 100 clinics and institutes, it treats more patients than any other university hospital in Germany and is consistently ranked among the best hospitals in the world. Charité combines comprehensive multi-super-specialty care with leading research across oncology, cardiology, neuroscience, transplantation, rare diseases and nearly every other field of medicine.

Technologies and equipment
DSA Digital Subtraction Angiography
Digital subtraction angiography (DSA) is an advanced imaging method that shows the blood vessels throughout the body in fine detail. A thin catheter delivers a contrast agent into the arteries, and specialised computer processing strips away the surrounding bone and tissue so that only the vessels stand out sharply. It is used to detect vascular problems such as narrowing, aneurysm, malformation and abnormal connections in the brain, abdomen, skin and limbs. DSA is also the basis for many minimally invasive treatments, allowing a specialist to find and, in the same session, treat a vascular problem through a tiny entry point rather than open surgery.
View technology→CyberKnife M6
CyberKnife M6 is a robotic system for stereotactic radiosurgery and stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT). Despite the name, there is no knife and no cutting. A small linear accelerator sits on a computer-guided robotic arm and delivers many thin beams of focused radiation from hundreds of angles. The beams converge on the tumour with sub-millimetre accuracy, so a high dose reaches the target while nearby healthy tissue is spared. Imaging during treatment tracks the tumour continuously, and a motion-synchronisation feature follows targets that move with breathing, such as those in the lung or liver. Treatment is non-invasive and painless, needs no rigid head frame, and is usually given as an outpatient over one to five sessions. The decision is always made individually by the radiation oncology team.
View technology→PET-CT
PET-CT is an advanced hybrid imaging method that combines positron emission tomography with computed tomography in a single scan, mapping both the metabolic activity and the anatomical structure of the body at once. A small dose of a radioactive tracer, often a glucose analogue, is injected and gathers in cells that are working harder than normal, which is typical of many tumours. Because it can show where a disease is active before it changes the shape of an organ, PET-CT is one of the most valuable tools for detecting cancer, working out how far it has spread, and checking whether treatment is working.
View technology→Da Vinci Robotic Surgery
The da Vinci robotic surgical system lets a surgeon perform complex operations through a few small keyhole incisions instead of one large cut. Sitting at a nearby console, the surgeon controls tiny wristed instruments and a magnified high-definition three-dimensional camera, while the robotic arms translate every hand movement into precise, steady motion inside the body. The system never acts on its own: the surgeon is in full control at all times. For patients, this minimally invasive approach often means less pain, smaller scars, less blood loss and a quicker return to normal life.
View technology→3 Tesla MRI
3 Tesla MRI is a high-field magnetic resonance imaging scanner that produces exceptionally detailed pictures of the inside of the body. The "3 Tesla" refers to the strength of its magnet, which is about twice that of a standard MRI scanner, and this extra power allows sharper, higher-resolution images, often in less time. Like all MRI, it uses a strong magnetic field and radio waves rather than X-rays, so there is no ionising radiation involved. It is especially valuable for examining the brain, the nervous system, joints and soft tissues, helping doctors detect and characterise problems that may be hard to see on other scans.
