Watermarking of Ultrasound Medical Images in Teleradiology Using Compressed Watermark

The open accessibility of Internet-based medical images in teleradialogy face security threats due to the nonsecured communication media. This paper discusses the spatial domain watermarking of ultrasound medical images for content authentication, tamper detection, and lossless recovery. For this pu...
