Quantum Computation Perspectives in Medical Image Processing

The automatic analysis of medical images is a field whose main goal is to give to machines a high capacity of processing images in the way the human brain does. This capacity is important in multiple directions. In this domain, the automation of human tasks is mainly helpful to conclude tasks in less time and to minimize errors when producing the results of those tasks. The involved tasks in human vision reach a high level of functional complexity. This is particularly true when the objects of processing are medical images. Thus, it is common to use medical image cases to validate models that have the goal to reach the human visual capacity. Nowadays, there is a relative large pool of knowledge about the human visual cortex and this allows having some image processing solutions that present a good perAbstrAct
