Abstract:: Abstract: Quantum imaging is a non-local imaging method based on quantum fluctuation in radiation field. Herein some general concepts of quantum imaging, including theoretical fundament, experimental apparatus and its development of history, are reviewed. With the unique advantages in spatial resolution, anti-interference and image acquisition, quantum ghost imaging has potential applications in several biomedical fields, mainly as follows: (1) ghost magnetic resonance angiography which can achieve near perfect background suppression with much greater parallel acceleration factors; (2) quantum optical coherence tomography which has absolute advantages in dealing with the group-velocity dispersion and improving image resolution; (3) X-ray ghost tomography which can greatly reduce radiation damage while remaining the quality of image. Moreover, if considering the objects embedded in multiple scattering media, transillumination imaging through biological tissue by single-pixel detection can be realized by quantum imaging.
