Abstract

AI has improved medical imaging diagnosis accuracy and efficiency. This research proposes an AI-driven hybrid CNN and transformer-based architecture for medical imaging diagnostics. This study investigates the use of hybrid neural network models, specifically CNN-LSTM and RNN-LSTM, to enhance diagnostic accuracy in medical imaging. By combining the spatial feature extraction capabilities of Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) with the temporal sequence analysis strengths of Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks, these hybrid models offer superior performance in image analysis tasks. The CNN-LSTM model achieved the highest performance metrics, with an accuracy of 92.1%, precision of 91.8%, recall of 92.3%, and an F1 score of 92.0%. Similarly, the RNN-LSTM model also showed excellent results, with an accuracy of 91.4%, precision of 90.9%, recall of 91.7%, and an F1 score of 91.3%. These findings demonstrate the potential of hybrid models to significantly improve diagnostic accuracy compared to traditional CNN, RNN, and standalone LSTM models. The study underscores the importance of integrating advanced AI techniques in medical imaging to achieve better diagnostic outcomes and enhance patient care. Future work will focus on expanding datasets, exploring advanced hybrid architectures, and validating these models in clinical settings to ensure their practical utility and impact.
