Abstract :
This paper addresses the secure storage and transmission of medical informatics in rapidly growing applications such as teleradiology and telesurgery. In particular, we propose a frequency domain digital watermarking technique that can be used to authenticate medical images in a distributed diagnosis and home healthcare environment. The most significant result of our method is the semi-reversibility property that undoes most of the degradation attributable to the watermarking process
