Introduction This technique is adapted here for interleaving patient information with medical images to reduce storage and transmission overheads. l The text data are encrypted before interleaving with images to ensure greater security. l The graphical signals are compressed and subsequently interleaved with the image. l

Encryption of the Text File Encryption of patient information. (a) Original patient information. (b) Encrypted patient information.

Encryption of the Text File (cont. ) l Encryption: Te = (Log (To * 2) *100 ) - 300 Te = the encrypted text To = the ASCII code of the original text l Decryption: To = exp{ (Te + 300)/100 – log(2)}

Encryption of the Heart Rate Signal Graph 左圖: DPCM (a) Original signal. (b) Reconstructed signal. (c) Error signal. 右圖: ADM (a) Original signal. (b) Reconstructed signal. (c) Error signal.

Experimental results Result of interleaving text in the MRI image. (a) Original image. (b) Interleaved image.

Experimental results (cont. ) Result of interleaving ADM error signal in the ultrasound image. (a) Original image. (b) Interleaved image.

Experimental results (cont. ) Result of interleaving DPCM error signal in the angiogram image. (a) Original signal. (b) Interleaved signal.

Experimental results (cont. ) NRMSE% & MNRMSE%

Conclusions l A technique of interleaving patient information (text documents , physiological signals) with medical images for efficient storage. l l l Text files---logarithmic technology Heart-rate signals---DPCM and ADM NRMSE was found to be less than 0. 71% for 8 bit encoded pixel intensity.

NRMSE% N =the total number of columns , M =the total number of rows in the image, f (x; y) = the original pixel intensity, and fw (x; y) =the modified (interleaved) pixel intensity.
