STORAGE AND SECURITY ISSUES OF MEDICAL IMAGES USING CLOUD PLATFORM

Abstract

In this current era of technology people are interested more in online medical facilities for more faster and comfortable life. Because of huge demand, health care field is growing rapidly. The data in the form of x-rays, diagnosis reports, MRI images, videos is generated. Such form of data consumes large amount of storage space and processing power, therefore nowadays alternate solutions such as cloud storage are used to store such huge data. As the medical data in the form of images or videos is very important and confidential it is very crucial to concentrate on the issues like storage and security. The proposed work discuss about the image security techniques like watermarking using different types combined with data encryption techniques during transmission so as to ensure better security along with reduction in cost for storage with the use of cloud environment. In this study, we offer a deeper insight into the challenges hindering the adoption of this technology. Then we analyze and compare these findings of the cloud based medical image process implementation with security necessities.
