A new medical image watermarking scheme for a better telediagnosis

The use of the data-processing networks for the medical information transmission forces to think of the problem of the securisation [I]. This securisation, can be ensured by the cryptography techniques [2]. However, when deciphering the image at the reception, the risks of false affiliations beween the medical images and the data which are associated for them are possible. In this work, we proposes an original technique allowing to lmnsfer me medical images in a protected way and to keep the relationship between the image and i ts identifier. In the fin1 paragraph, one will detail these problem by specifying the constraints of the transmission of the medical files and the insufficiency of the currently existing solutions. The second paragraph will treat the solution suggested and the improvement that it presents. We will end up having the results of our tests on medical images in order to illustrate the presented interpretations.
