Retrieval of hidden infected region using biomedical image watermarking for tele-diagnosis to ensure better treatment

A new type of biomedical image watermarking scheme is introduced through this paper for better tele-diagnosis and tele-surgery that can enhance the security of modern health care system. Here effected region from MRI image is separated and highlighted though a combination of region growing algorithm and contour detection which is then embedded in the scanned image itself for a secure transmission to the remote location for tele-diagnosis. The quality of the proposed embedding and recovery process is also supported by some image quality metrics to ensure the robustness and strength of the proposed of biomedical image watermarking technique.
