            measures. 18-38  Despite AI’s numerous advantages, it remains
            a complementary tool to healthcare professionals rather
            than a replacement. The human element in healthcare,
            characterized by empathy, ethical judgment, and
            experience, is indispensable. AI’s role in healthcare is to
            support professionals by providing diagnostic suggestions
            and real-time insights. However, ethical concerns
            surrounding data privacy, algorithmic biases, and patient
            consent must be addressed to ensure AI’s responsible and
            effective use in personalized medicine. AI is reshaping the
            healthcare landscape by improving diagnosis, treatment,
            and personalized medicine. It enables healthcare providers   Figure  2.  Benefits  of  AI  in  medical  diagnostics.  The  chart  shows  that

            8. Results and findings
            The investigation highlights transformative advancements
            in AI, particularly in DL and ML applications in healthcare,
            with  a  focus  on  improving  diagnostic  accuracy,  early
            disease detection, and personalized care.
            8.1. Crucial AI contributions in medical diagnostics
            DL, powered by ANNs, has shown the most substantial
            impact  in  medical  diagnostics.  Enhanced  computational
            resources,  the  availability  of  large,  labeled  datasets,  and
            accessible frameworks have propelled the success of DL,
            particularly in medical imaging. The turning point for DL   Figure 3. Challenges of AI in medical diagnostics
