A review of image watermarking applications in healthcare

G Coatrieux et al. Conf Proc IEEE Eng Med Biol Soc. 2006.

Abstract

In this article, we focus on the complementary role of watermarking with respect to medical information security (integrity, authenticity ...) and management. We review sample cases where watermarking has been deployed, we conclude that watermarking has found a niche role in healthcare systems, as an instrument for protection of medical information, for secure sharing and handling of medical images. The concern of medical experts on the preservation of documents diagnostic integrity remains paramount.
