Abstract

Confidentiality is an ethical necessity in health care. As for teleconsulting and telediagnosis, the use of multimedia technologies for telemedicine purposes is now gaining the ground all over the world. The progress increased however the risk of violation of the authenticity and integrity of the patient's records as the circulation of data via Internet is hard to control. In this paper we suggest using watermarking techniques using simultaneous content-based and moment invariant methods as a complementary safety measure. Content-based techniques have proven to be useful in detecting possible alteration in the temperate region of the image-based data while invariant methods are now widely used for pint pointing changes in the medical imagery.
