Quantum Computing for Tomographic Image Reconstruction

[Louisanity]

Description

We aim to improve the tomographic image reconstruction technique to produce high-quality images using fewer measurements and a low signal-to-noise ratio. Our goal is to reduce patient discomfort and radiation exposure in clinical imaging. To achieve this objective, we propose using a quantum computer and associated hybrid methods (or any better proposal) for solving the ill-posed inverse problem of tomographic reconstruction.

We are extensively testing that the quantum algorithm can be a better solution than the classical methodology. There is a result demonstrating that their method produces accurate reconstructed binary and integer-valued images of up to 32×32 pixels, competing with traditional reconstruction algorithms while being more robust to noise and producing accurate results from a few projections. This work will help us prepare the quantum algorithm for later large-scale implementation.
