Imaging"],"abstract":"<jats:p>In this paper, we propose a literature review regarding two deep learning architectures, namely Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) and Capsule Networks (CapsNets), applied to medical images, in order to analyze them to help in medical decision support. CNNs demonstrate their capacity in the medical diagnostic field; however, their reliability decreases when there is slight spatial variability, which can affect diagnosis, especially since the anatomical structure of the human body can differ from one patient to another. In contrast, CapsNets encode not only feature activation but also spatial relationships, hence improving the reliability and stability of model generalization. This paper proposes a structured comparison by reviewing studies published from 2018 to 2025 across major databases, including IEEE Xplore, ScienceDirect, SpringerLink, and MDPI. The applications in the reviewed papers are based on the benchmark datasets BraTS, INbreast, ISIC, and COVIDx. This paper review compares the core architectural principles, performance, and interpretability of both architectures. To conclude the paper, we underline the complementary roles of these two architectures in medical decision-making and propose future directions toward hybrid, explainable, and computationally efficient deep learning systems for real clinical environments, thereby increasing survival rates by helping prevent diseases at an early stage.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jimaging12010017","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,12,31]],"date-time":"2025-12-31T14:08:11Z","timestamp":1767190091000},"page":"17","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Advancing Medical Decision-Making with AI: A Comprehensive Exploration of the Evolution from Convolutional Neural Networks to Capsule Networks"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"12","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7657-1780","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ichrak","family":"Khoulqi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"DICC Team, Data4Earth Laboratory, Sultan Moulay Slimane University, Beni Mellal 23000, Morocco"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4775-5967","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Zakariae","family":"El Ouazzani","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory of Artificial Intelligence, Data Sciences and Emerging Systems, School of Applied Sciences, Sidi Mohamed Ben Abdellah University, Fes 30000, Morocco"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,12,30]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"8459","DOI":"10.1007\/s12652-021-03612-z","article-title":"Artificial intelligence in disease diagnosis: A systematic literature review, synthesizing framework and future research agenda","volume":"14","author":"Kumar","year":"2023","journal-title":"J.
