Quantum Medical Imaging Algorithms

Abstract

A central task in medical imaging is the reconstruction of an image or function from data collected by medical devices (e.g., CT, MRI, and PET scanners). We provide quantum algorithms for image reconstruction with exponential speedup over classical counterparts when data is input as a quantum state. Since outputs of our algorithms are stored in quantum states, individual pixels of reconstructed images may not be efficiently accessed classically; instead, we discuss various methods to extract information from outputs using a variety of quantum post-processing algorithms.
