Breast cancer is one among the most common diseases that are encountered in the world and one of the principal causes of death among women, early detection being crucial to enhance survival rates but mammograms are an important tool that can save lives by finding breast cancer at its earliest stages but the manual evaluation is dependent on a radiologist's clear interpretation and analysis of which sometimes erroneously or misses the key findings. This research work deals with breast cancer detection from mammogram images and hence provides a solution for the issues identified by training Quantum Convolutional Neural Network (Quantum CNN). Quantum CNNs is recently being integrated with classical deep learning models in the form of Quantum CNN where quantum mechanical properties are used to support feature extraction and data handling.

Breast cancer is one of the most prevalent and life-threatening diseases affecting women worldwide, and early detection plays a crucial role in improving survival rates and treatment outcomes.Conventional diagnostic methods such as mammography, ultrasound imaging, and histopathological analysis rely heavily on expert interpretation and classical machine learning techniques.Although classical deep learning models, especially Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs), have demonstrated impressive performance in medical image analysis, they face inherent limitations related to computational complexity, scalability, and the curse of dimensionality when handling large, high-resolution datasets.With the rapid advancement of quantum computing, Quantum Machine Learning (QML) has emerged as a promising paradigm capable of addressing these challenges by leveraging quantum phenomena such as superposition and entanglement.This research explores the application of Quantum Convolutional Neural Networks (Quantum CNNs or QCNNs) for breast cancer detection, aiming to enhance classification accuracy while reducing computational overhead.The proposed approach integrates quantum circuits with classical preprocessing techniques to extract discriminative features from breast cancer datasets, such as mammographic or histopathological images.By encoding image features into quantum states and performing convolution operations through parameterized quantum circuits, the Quantum CNN model is designed to learn complex patterns more efficiently than classical counterparts.The study evaluates the effectiveness of Quantum CNNs in distinguishing between benign and malignant breast tumors and compares its performance with traditional CNN models.The findings highlight the potential of Quantum CNNs to revolutionize medical image analysis by offering faster convergence, improved generalization, and robustness against noise.This research contributes to the growing field of quantumassisted healthcare systems and demonstrates how quantum computing can be harnessed to address critical challenges in breast cancer diagnosis.
One of the common and maybe fatal diseases harming women all around, breast cancer is one such condition. Accurate medical image analysis allows for early detection, which can greatly increase survival rates. Although they encounter challenges such as high computational expenses, poor data efficiency, and suboptimal feature extraction, conventional deep learning methods have produced promising results. By using quantum parallelism and entanglement to enable more quick and more complex computations, quantum computing provides a new approach to overcome these limitations. This paper intends to propose a hybrid quantum-classical deep learning model for the identification of breast cancer areas in mammographic images. The proposed method combines a quantum convolutional neural network (QCNN) with a classical convolutional neural network (CNN) to benefit from the advantages accompanying both classical and quantum processing. The hybrid model processes the mammogram data using classical pre-processing and quantum convolution layers; classification then follows with fully connected layers followed by classical pooling. The results of the MIAS dataset experiments indicate a classification accuracy of 98.4%, which is superior to the operation of traditional CNN and transfer learning-based models.
Experts predict that the use of artificial intelligence and quantum computing will transform medicine including medical imaging. One of the common malignant tumors in women and seriously threatens women’s physical and mental health is breast cancer. The high incidence and mortality of breast cancer are seriously threatening women’s physical and mental health. The long time it took to get breast cancer’s test result and the conditions which make delay without being treated which caused the loss of lives due to latency. Early screening for breast cancer via mammography, ultrasound (US) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can significantly improve the prognosis of patients. Artificial intelligence has been extensively researched for breast cancer screening and has demonstrated good performance in image identification tests. This research was introduced analytical estimation for quantum Convolutional Neural Network for breast cancer detection, such as in the identification, segmentation and classification of lesions, breast density assessment and breast cancer risk assessment.

Early diagnosis of breast cancer is crucial to combat its severity. Yet, it’s a challenging endeavor to tackle via traditional diagnosis methods. Several machine learning architectures have already been proposed to assist medical experts in diagnosis. However, architectural complexity hinders the goal of developing a cost-effective diagnosis model. Recently, quantum computing has become popular in machine learning due to its potential computational benefits. Although quantum computing has yet to show any significant improvement in machine learning due to its limited resources and complexity, it may reduce the computational complexity of machine learning in the future. Therefore, we proposed a novel hybrid classical-quantum machine learning model for breast cancer prediction. We collected the BreastMNIST dataset of 780 benign and malignant full-image mammogram samples. Our task is to create an efficient breast cancer-classifying hybrid machine learning model. The proposed method employs a modified ResNet50 as a feature extractor and a Quantum Neural Network to train on that feature and generate desired predictions. A Convolutional layer is applied as a dimension-reduction technique for features generated through ResNet50. Our architecture proved superior to other state-of-the-art hybrid methods, achieving an accuracy of 69% against 67%. An in-depth comparative analysis has been performed that shows the novelty of our research. This study paves the path for hybrid classical-quantum machine learning research in medical image classification.
