Abstract: Telemedicine application is becoming popular, in this large amount of data needs to be transferred over the network. Medical Image embedding is used increase the security and authentication of medical image, which is important and is used for further diagnosis and reference. The proposed scheme distortion in the ROI is avoided by inserting the information in the region which is not important for diagnosis. Integer wavelet transform has been used to achieve reversible watermarking as every minute detail is important for the medical images. Watermarks which convey patient’s personal and health data, key terms for information recovery and the doctor’s digital signature for authentication are embedded in the image.
