Abstract
An improved RDH scheme is proposed in this paper for medical images that can overcome the challenges in implementing secure online medical system. Security of the medical images and privacy of the medical report and patient information remains a big hurdle. This approach aims at solving the security problem through two level security mechanism: encryption and data embedding. For privacy preservation EPR embedding technique is introduced to hide sensitive patient data into the medical image itself. The experimental results shows that the proposed method is highly efficient in embedding capacity and lossless recovery for grey-scale medical images. Based on PSNR values it outperforms the existing RDH methods for medical images.
