Item A Comprehensive Survey on Breast Cancer Diagnostics: From Artificial Intelligence to Quantum Machine Learning(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2025) Reddy, M.R.V.S.R.S.; Kumar, S.; Bhowmik, B.Breast cancer remains a leading cause of mortality among women worldwide, where early detection significantly improves survival rates. Traditional diagnostic methods like mammography, biopsy, and ultrasonography face challenges like diagnostic errors and low sensitivity. Recent advancements in Artificial Intelligence (AI), including deep learning for image analysis and natural language processing for patient data interpretation, have shown promise in enhancing diagnostic capabilities. The integration of these AI techniques with Quantum Machine Learning (QML) leverages quantum parallelism to process high-dimensional medical data and extract intricate imaging patterns more efficiently. This paper provides a comprehensive overview of cancer, its subtypes, symptoms, and the limitations of conventional diagnostics while highlighting the transformative potential of QML in improving diagnostic accuracy and efficiency for breast cancer detection and prognosis. © 2025 IEEE.Item ADConv-Net: Advanced Deep Convolution Neural Network for COVID-19 Diagnostics Using Chest X-Ray and CT Images(Springer, 2025) Kumar, S.; Bhowmik, B.The worldwide COVID-19 epidemic has emerged as a significant concern, affecting daily lives and underscoring the importance of early diagnosis for effective treatment in medical and healthcare settings. Current diagnostic testing for COVID-19 is sluggish, typically requiring hours to get results. Detection of COVID-19 from medical imaging presents a challenging task that has gained substantial interest from experts worldwide. Essential imaging modalities for diagnosing COVID-19 include chest X-rays and computed tomography (CT) scans. By contrast, most of the chest radiography can be completed in within fifteen minutes. Thus, employing chest radiography gives a possibility for early and reliable diagnosis of COVID-19, intending to relieve therapeutic obstacles for patients and speed up the diagnostic process. Recently, deep learning (DL) techniques have been shown to be effective in image-based diagnostics. This paper proposed an advanced deep convolution neural network (ADConv-Net) for COVID-19 detection and categorization using chest X-ray and CT images. The proposed technique is not only capable of recognizing critical connections and similarities in image classification, but also leads to improved diagnostic accuracy. The proposed model undergoes thorough evaluation for standard performance metrics. After evaluation, the ADConv-Net model achieves high accuracies of 98.84% and 97.25% in training and testing for X-ray images and 99.41% and 98.87% in training and testing for CT images, respectively. Additionally, the proposed model demonstrates strong performance, with AUC values of 0.993 and 0.996 for X-ray and CT images, respectively. Further, the model also introduces a heatmap approach for displaying COVID-19 disease areas. Subsequently, radiologists can find COVID-19 disorders in chest X-ray and CT images with this approach. © The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd. 2025.
