Abstract

Because of the importance of the security issues in the management of medical information, we suggest the use of watermarking techniques to complete the existing measures for protecting medical images. We discuss the necessary requirements for such a system to be accepted by medical staff and its complementary role with respect with existing security systems. We present different scenarios, one devoted to the authentication and tracing of the images, the second to the integrity control of the patient´s record
