dc.description.abstractCardiovascular diseases are among the major health problems that are likely to benefit from promising developments in quantum machine learning for medical imaging. The chest X-ray (CXR), a widely used modality, can reveal cardiomegaly, even when performed primarily for a non-cardiological indication. Based on pre-trained DenseNet-121, we designed hybrid classical–quantum (CQ) transfer learning models to detect cardiomegaly in CXRs. Using Qiskit and PennyLane, we integrated a parameterized quantum circuit into a classic network implemented in PyTorch. We mined the CheXpert public repository to create a balanced dataset with 2436 posteroanterior CXRs from different patients distributed between cardiomegaly and the control. Using k-fold cross-validation, the CQ models were trained using a state vector simulator. The normalized global effective dimension allowed us to compare the trainability in the CQ models run on Qiskit. For prediction, ROC AUC scores up to 0.93 and accuracies up to 0.87 were achieved for several CQ models, rivaling the classical–classical (CC) model used as a reference. A trustworthy Grad-CAM++ heatmap with a hot zone covering the heart was visualized more often with the QC option than that with the CC option (94% vs. 61%, p < 0.001), which may boost the rate of acceptance by health professionals.en
