Diamond-based quantum sensing for neurosurgery — •Wickenbrock Arne — Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz, Germany

The DIAQNOS (Diamond-based quantum sensing for neurosurgery) project aims to develop a novel Quantum-Neuro Analyzer (QNA) to provide continuous and crucial information for tumor detection and functional diagnostics during neurosurgical procedures. The project utilizes diamond-based quantum sensors for preclinical studies on living human brain tissue. The goal is to implement a clinically deployable DIAQNOS-QNA, an imaging, magnetically sensitive quantum endoscope at the end of a multimodal light guide. This technology is intended to enhance the safety, precision, and efficiency of neurosurgical cancer therapy.
