Abstract:

The main purpose of this paper is to preserve the patient's medical images and electronic records in the healthcare center for enabling the distribution of patient data and exchange between networked hospitals and healthcare centers. The healthcare center and hospitals have to provide assurance of security, legitimacy, and supervision of medical images and information over storage and distribution. The watermarking techniques are rising to provide security for medical healthcare information. The medical data and electronic patient's record can be encrypted in the secret format, then the embedded EPR information and medical images are to be saved in storage space and transmission overheads and provide assurance security of the shared information. The discrete wavelet packet transform (DWPT) method is a novel approach to shielding the patient statistics of the medical image by means of the hospital logo as an allusion image. Several error correction and detection techniques are used to provide greater security to medical information, mainly concentrated on forward error correction code (FEC) and BCH code, to improve the robustness of the proposed method.

Keywords:

forward error correction code (FEC), BCH code, medical images, electronic records.
