Parameter-Efficient Quantum Machine Learning for Multi-Class Brain Tumor Classification

Rahman Abdur, Tae-Hyong Kim

Medical image classification is a critical task in computer-aided diagnostics, but classical deep learning models often demand substantial computational resources and large parameter spaces. This paper investigates the potential of hybrid quantum-classical neural networks to address this challenge in the context of multi-class brain tumor classification from MRI scans. We introduce a custom hybrid quantum machine learning (QML) model and conduct a rigorous comparative analysis against its purely classical counterpart, as well as established architectures such as ResNet-18 and VGG-16. Our findings demonstrate that the proposed hybrid QML model achieves a state-of-the-art test accuracy of 96.58%, matching the performance of the significantly larger ResNet-18 model. Crucially, the hybrid model outperforms its direct classical counterpart, the Classical Benchmark (96.20%), while utilizing approximately 80% fewer parameters. Although simulating quantum circuits results in longer training times, our findings highlight the remarkable parameter efficiency and competitive accuracy of hybrid quantum models, suggesting a promising direction for developing powerful yet lightweight networks for medical diagnostics.

Leveraging Quantum-Based Architectures for Robust Diagnostics

Shabnam Sodagari, Tommy Long

Quantum machine learning has emerged as a promising approach for medical image analysis, particularly in settings where compact models and expressive feature representations are desired. This paper presents a hybrid classical--quantum diagnostic framework that integrates dataset-specific preprocessing, transfer learning, and quantum convolutional neural networks (QCNNs) for multi-class medical image classification. This approach is evaluated on three distinct tasks: kidney disease diagnosis from computed tomography images, cervical cell classification from pap smear images, and brain tumor classification from magnetic resonance imaging. For each dataset, a pretrained encoder is used to extract latent features, which are then embedded into quantum states through angle or amplitude encoding and processed by a QCNN. Experimental results show strong and stable convergence across all datasets. The proposed hybrid models achieve 99% test accuracy on kidney CT classification, 97% on cervical cell classification, and 99% on brain tumor classification. In comparative evaluations for precision, recall, and F1, the hybrid QCNN models consistently outperform classical CNN baselines using the same pretrained encoders and similar hyperparameter settings, while requiring fewer trainable parameters. These results demonstrate the potential of quantum-enhanced architectures for robust and efficient medical diagnostics.
