Abstract

The paper proposes an AI-based scheme of early COVID-19 diagnosis and detection based on multimodal medical imaging, featuring chest X-rays (CXR) and computed tomography (CT). The proposed deep learning architecture (Convolutional neural networks + feature encoders that are transformers) is the one that performs an accurate representation of space and context using convolutional neural networks and transformers that encode the features. The multimodal fusion unit matches dissimilar image attributes to enhance the diagnostic quality and strength. The data includes 12,000 CXR and 8,000 CT images, which have been processed by using adaptive normalization and augmentation. The experimental findings show that the proposed hybrid model has 98.7% accuracy, 97.9% sensitivity, and 98.5% specificity that are higher than existing approach. The GRAD-CAM analysis indicates better localization and readability of the lesion. The strategy is effective in reducing inter-modality deviations and reducing the reliability of automated COVID-19 signs, which contributes to effective triage in medical processes.
