    The study proposes a quantum-hybrid pipeline for lung nodule classification in CT scans, integrating vision transformer embeddings with a quantum orthogonal pyramidal circuit.

  • 2

    This approach achieves a 28-fold reduction in computational cost compared to full-vision transformer models while maintaining high diagnostic accuracy.

  • 3

    The pipeline utilizes a two-stage strategy, training a compact vision transformer on 681 CT scans and applying PCA for dimensionality reduction.

  • 4

    The quantum orthogonal pyramidal circuit leverages quantum superposition for efficient processing, enabling robust learning from small, imbalanced datasets.

  • 5

    This hybrid method demonstrates a sustainable path for practical quantum machine learning applications in real-world medical scenarios.
