Wavelet Based Digital Watermarking Scheme for Medical Images
Mukesh Soni, Dileep Kumar
Abstract
The transfer of medical images between hospitals is become a normal exercise for better decision making. Digital watermarking has played a very significant role in medical sciences for diagnosis and medication to protect reliability, availability, and confidentiality. Several methods are proposed for medical images using the spatial and transform domain. However, the data falsification ratio is high in the existing mechanisms while exchanging medical images. Hence, we suggest a wavelet based digital watermarking scheme for medical images using three level DWT and BCH coding, which can be used to the medical practitioners for accurate decisions. Security analysis of our proposed work has been done for security assessment, and performance results are discussed to confirm its implementation feasibility in medical sector.
