Lung disorders are a major global health issue. A quick and accurate diagnosis is essential for proper treatment. In order to increase diagnostic accuracy, recent multimodal techniques are gaining popularity. This study carried out a comprehensive analysis of research articles on multimodal approaches that were published between 2020 and 2024 in Scopus and Google Scholar. The results show that there is limited study on the multimodal approach and on a variety of lung disorders such as asthma, TB, pneumonia, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Several studies concentrated mainly on the detection and binary classification of COVID-19. The field has several challenges, including limited datasets, high computing costs, difficulties in integrating multiple modalities, and lack of accessibility of the models. Future studies should look at a wider range of lung diseases, increase the accessibility of datasets, improve fusion methods for merging data from many sources, and create models that are easier to understand and use fewer resources. Resolving these issues will improve patient outcomes by advancing the real-world use of deep learning in medical diagnosis.
