“…Security protection is a necessary requirement in a filmless environment. DICOM has also adopted public-key cryptography for protecting medical images transmitted in PACS (ACM-NEMA 2009;Schüze et al 2004). Based on public-key infrastructure (PKI), mechanisms needed to comply with medical information security regulations could be implemented (Brandner et al 2002;Cao et al 2003).…”

In this paper, we evaluated the implementation of a digital signature for medical imaging quality assurance and control (QA/C) by a technician in accordance with the Digital Image and Communication in Medicine (DICOM). After QA/C, a set of DICOM images were collected into a DICOM Key Object Selection (KOS) document with digital signatures. The digital signature was implemented by RSA public-key cryptography combined with a public-key health certificate and health professional card (HPC) to digitally sign a series of DICOM images. Our method includes the DICOM Modality Performed Procedure Steps (MPPS) mechanism that assures the image transmission completeness and accuracy in an image examination workflow. The results show that the method is more efficient and requires less loading time to create the technician's signature in an imaging examination workflow.

“…1 In order to implement the digital signature of electronic health records (EHR), some issues should be of concern, including integrity, authenticity, and long-term verifiability. 2,3 The digital signature specifications in the radiology domain have been addressed by Digital Imaging and Communication in Medicine (DICOM) 4 , Health Level 7 (HL7), and Integrating the Healthcare Enterprise (IHE). 5 In the real world, an EHR may contain many different types of clinical data (text, image, waveform, etc.).…”

“…DICOM files are particularly essential for medical image archiving and management because image data 1) cannot be manipulated or changed, and 2) are stored in a unified way so that they are linked to a picture archiving and communications (PACS) system even if the equipment is changed. The DICOM format is widely used because of these advantages 34…”
