Experiment of Tamper Detection and Recovery Watermarking in Picture Archiving and Communication Systems

Medical images such as x-rays, ultrasounds and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) plays an important role in helping the physicians to diagnose a disease or body conditions. These images can be tampered with existing image processing tools that is easily available. The usage of se...
