This paper describes the communication concept for a regional stroke network for the exchange of medical images and reports. The data transfer is realized with regular e-mail (SMTP). DICOM images are sent as DICOM compliant attachments. Private key encryption is used to ensure data security and privacy. All used protocols are standardized or de-facto standards and allow vendor-independent communication. Different problems and options of the concept realization are discussed.

“…For example, as outlined by Baur et al [27], the major stages can be: (1) determination of the appropriate level of security, (2) threat analysis, (3) risk analysis, and (4) establishment of security concept. Determination of the appropriate level of security may include determining security levels of all entities and objects (e.g., IT applications and information sets) linked with the teleradiology system.…”

“…Besides, for computer and network security, various requirements are entitled in different standards such as USA's Federal Information Processing Standards [4] and Germany's Bundesdaten-schutzgesetz [27], the general categories of which includes: access control; audit and accountability; certification, accreditation, and security assessment; configuration management; identification, and authentication; media protection; physical and environmental protection; system and communications protection; and system and information integrity. However, as an important aspect of security and risk management in the context of information security [29], we restrict our attention to recognizing the value of information and defining appropriate procedures and protection requirements for the information.…”

A Review of Medical Image Watermarking Requirements for Teleradiology

2012

Teleradiology allows medical images to be transmitted over electronic networks for clinical interpretation and for improved healthcare access, delivery, and standards. Although such remote transmission of the images is raising various new and complex legal and ethical issues, including image retention and fraud, privacy, malpractice liability, etc., considerations of the security measures used in teleradiology remain unchanged. Addressing this problem naturally warrants investigations on the security measures for their relative functional limitations and for the scope of considering them further. In this paper, starting with various security and privacy standards, the security requirements of medical images as well as expected threats in teleradiology are reviewed. This will make it possible to determine the limitations of the conventional measures used against the expected threats. Furthermore, we thoroughly study the utilization of digital watermarking for teleradiology. Following the key attributes and roles of various watermarking parameters, justification for watermarking over conventional security measures is made in terms of their various objectives, properties, and requirements. We also outline the main objectives of medical image watermarking for teleradiology and provide recommendations on suitable watermarking techniques and their characterization. Finally, concluding remarks and directions for future research are presented.
