Abstract In therapeutic diagnostics, early diagnosis and monitoring of heart disease is dependent on fast time-series MRI data processing. Robust encryption techniques are necessary to guarantee patient confidentiality. While deep learning (DL) algorithm have improved medical imaging, privacy and performance are still hard to balance. In this study, a novel approach for analyzing homomorphivally-encrypted (HE) time-series MRI data is introduced: The Multi-Faceted Long Short-Term Memory (MF-LSTM). This method includes privacy protection. The MF-LSTM architecture protects patient’s privacy while accurately categorizing and forecasting cardiac disease, with accuracy (97.5%), precision (96.5%), recall (98.3%), and F1-score (97.4%). While segmentation methods help to improve interpretability by identifying important region in encrypted MRI images, Generalized Histogram Equalization (GHE) improves image quality. Extensive testing on selected dataset if encrypted time-series MRI images proves the method’s stability and efficacy, outperforming previous approaches. The finding shows that the suggested technique can decode medical image to expose visual representation as well as sequential movement while protecting privacy and providing accurate medical image evaluation.
