Quantum Autoencoder Delivers 0.95 Slice-Level ROC-AUC for Brain MRI Tumor Detection on Public DICOM Data
The work demonstrates a quantum autoencoder applied to clinical brain MRI anomaly detection with superior AUC over classical baselines and interpretable compression dynamics. Encoder asymmetry, not decoder capacity, drives performance. Evidence remains limited by dataset size and absence of external validation cohorts.

Next steps involve hybrid quantum-classical pipelines that feed QAE scores into classical classifiers. If validated on 500+ patient multi-center data within two years, the method could shift anomaly detection workflows toward quantum-informed compression metrics.
⚡ Prediction
Santanu Ganguly: External validation on a 500-patient multi-center MRI cohort will exceed classical AUC by at least 0.04 within 24 months.
