Quantum Medical Image Processing

[Overview] This book is a comprehensive technical guide to applying quantum computing to medical image processing using IBM Qiskit 2.2. It covers everything from the fundamentals of representing images such as MRI and CT scans as qubits, to the implementation of concrete algorithms including the Quantum Fourier Transform and edge detection. It also provides detailed coverage of advanced machine learning techniques such as quantum neural networks and quantum GANs for lesion classification, segmentation, and image synthesis. With an eye toward practical clinical utility, the book spans a wide range of topics ― from denoising and treatment planning optimization to data privacy protection. It offers guidance on hybrid processing approaches that account for the constraints of current quantum devices, and serves as a hands-on guidebook aimed at pursuing quantum advantage in medical information analysis. The full scope extends to hybrid classical-quantum system design, with all concepts illustrated through practical Python code using accessible quantum toy models that run on a standard PC.
