Abstract

Telemedicine is the remote delivery of health care services to evaluate, diagnose and treat patients using common technology, such as video conferencing and smart phones, without the need for an in-person visit. There is likelihood in altering the medical images purposely or unintentionally while transmitting over covert channel. The Physician confirms the diagnosis region obtained from the medical image as region of interest (ROI), prior to interpreting any report on evaluation. Watermarking scheme for medical images exploring DCT domain is conferred in this proposal. Fuzzy c algorithm is utilized in segmenting the assessment region (ROI) and non-interest region (RONI), further the watermark is inserted through modulation scheme termed as M-ary. The scheme efficacy is determined for MRI medical images through simulation by computation of quality metrics such as PSNR and NCC.
