This approach allowed the unlinked storage of medical data and related patient-identifying information, while still making it possible to reestablish the patient/health data relationship for authorized users.…”

The rapid growth of digital technology in medical fields over recent years has increased the need for applications able to manage patient medical records, imaging data, and chart information. Web-based applications are implemented with the purpose to link digital databases, storage and transmission protocols, management of large volumes of data and security concepts, allowing the possibility to read, analyze, and even diagnose remotely from the medical center where the information was acquired. The objective of this paper is to analyze the use of the XML protocol in web-based medical imaging applications, analyzing how this protocol allows indexing and exchanging the huge amount of information associated with each medical case. The purpose of this paper is to point out the main advantages and drawbacks of the XML technology in order to provide key ideas for future web-based applications. As already explained by the email of Dr. Alain Lalande, in this paper we review the advances that the XML exchanging information protocol has provided to web-based applications applied to the medical imaging field.As suggested, we've checked the associated editors list and we think that either Alfredo Hernandez or Frederique Frouin could manage the current submission.All authors have checked the manuscript and have agreed to the submission. We have no conflict of interest. We think the research topic the paper is dealing with perfectly fits the scope of the journal.

“…Aiming at allowing physicians to access patients' health data without disclosing patients' personal data, the pseudo anonymity technique has been applied in several works [31][32] [8]. Of these, [8] used an approach for reversible pseudonym generation; [32] proposed the possibility of sharing pseudonyms based on Shamir secret sharing [35].…”

Abstract With the development of cloud computing, electronic health record (EHR) system has appeared in the form of patient-centric, in which patients store their personal health records (PHRs) at a remote cloud server and selectively share them with physicians for convenient medical care. Although the newly emerged form has many advantages over traditional client-server model, it inevitably introduces patients' concerns on the privacy of their PHRs due to the fact that cloud servers are very likely to be in a different trusted domain from that of the patients.In this paper, aiming at allowing for efficient storing and sharing PHRs and also eliminating patients' worries about PHR privacy, we design a secure cloud-based EHR system, which guarantees security and privacy of medical data stored in the cloud, relying on cryptographic primitive but not the full trust over cloud servers. Based on our proposed basic EHR system, we provide several extensions including adding searchability, supporting revocation functionality and enabling efficient local decryption, which fills the gap between theoretical proposal and practical application.

“…We developed an approach denominated as 'Pseudonymization of Information for Privacy in E-Health' (PIPE) to provide a secured and privacy-preserving storage and retrieval of sensitive medical data [7]. The basic idea is that many medical records alone such as X-ray images (of frequent mishaps like broken legs) are insufficient to uniquely identify the patient after depersonalization.…”

Abstract. E-health allows better communication between health care providers and higher availability of medical data. However, the downside of interconnected systems is the increased probability of unauthorized access to highly sensitive records that could result in serious discrimination against the patient. This article provides an overview of actual privacy threats and presents a pseudonymization approach that preserves the patient's privacy and data confidentiality. It allows (direct care) primary use of medical records by authorized health care providers and privacypreserving (non-direct care) secondary use by researchers. The solution also addresses the identifying nature of genetic data by extending the basic pseudonymization approach with queryable encryption.
