A REVIEW OF REVERSIBLE WATERMARKING PROPERTIES, APPLICATIONS AND TECHNIQUES FOR MEDICAL IMAGES.

Medical image watermarking is a special branch of image watermarking. The main use of medical image watermarking is for authentication and tamper detection. In addition, it is used to insert the related electronic patient record (EPR) into the medical image. The objective of this paper is to conduct a research of medical image properties and applications. In addition, some of medical image watermarking schemes are reviewed. These schemes are reversible, i.e. the exact copy of the original image can be recovered. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
