Hybrid Quantum-Classical Model for Multi-Class Brain Tumor MRI Classification

Singampalli Hemanth Kumar, Hazarath Murali Krishna Prasad

The problem of classifying brain tumours using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a fundamental one in the field of computeraided diagnosis, since although many commonly employed convolutional neural network (CNN) architectures provide high accuracy they contain a large number of parameters, which has led to a search for more compact network designs. In this paper a hybrid quantum–classical approach is proposed that combines a lightweight CNN feature extractor with a trainable variational quantum circuit (VQC) in order to carry out four-class brain tumour classification. The MRI images are resized to 128 by 128 pixels and then processed by a small three-block CNN that reduces each image to an 8-dimensional feature vector. This vector is put into an 8-qubit quantum register by means of angle embedding and then acted on by a variational circuit composed of strongly entangling layers, by measuring each qubit in the Pauli-Z basis. The quantum features thus obtained are then fed into classical dense layers that categorise the images as glioma, meningioma, pituitary tumour or no tumour. The framework was tested on the Brain Tumor MRI dataset (7,200 images) and compared with a classical CNN baseline that was trained under the same conditions. The hybrid model reached a test accuracy of 76.88%, as compared to 72.31% for the classical baseline an improvement of 4.57 percentage points together with corresponding increases in macro-averaged precision, recall and F1-score. Notably, the hybrid model needed only 72 additional trainable parameters when compared to the classical baseline. The fact that the quantum layer was assessed using a noiseless simulator rather than on actual quantum hardware means that these results should be seen as indicating the feasibility of using compact quantum feature transformations for medical image classification rather than as showing a quantum advantage.
