Abstract

There is always a need for an updated systematic review of a special subject area because of its importance for the researchers and the interested audience. This paper presents a review of medical image authentication (MIA) which is an interesting application of medical image watermarking techniques. The main objectives of medical image authentication techniques are protecting the medical images from tampering and verifying their integrity. Over the years many MIA schemes have been presented for different purposes such as detecting tampering in the medical images, localizing the tampered region, and recovering the tampered region. This paper starts by providing some basic information about the medical image watermarking techniques and their requirements, followed by a brief display for the previous review papers in this field which proves the necessity to present this review paper. Then, an overview of MIA process and its domain-based concepts are presented. Thereafter, the MIA schemes are classified according to their objectives and the domain of embedding the watermarks. The most used performance evaluation measures and metrics in the state-of-the-art are also reviewed in this paper followed by the conclusions and some recent trends of this interesting research field.
