Wavelet Decomposition Based Authentication Scheme for Dental CBCT Images

Incorrect information or documentation of the patient details and a wrong direction provided by any personnel to the patient can largely influence the lab reports or any other confidential data. Once the medical image is verified as secure and safe by the authorized access, one can review the medical image and the patient information. This paper focuses on providing a helping tool to ensure higher accuracy as well as authentication of the medical data and the related information. It proposes an authentication scheme to address the issue of security and privacy preservation of medical details. This technique involves generating a secure identification pattern from the fusion of the patient’s information with the features of cone-beam CT images obtained through wavelet analysis without any tampering with the medical details. The patient’s information can be successfully restored at the authorized receiver’s end. This authentication scheme can be helpful and implemented in telecare medical information systems.
