Medical Imaging Techniques and Applications

Up-to-date medical image processing is currently based on very sophisticated algorithms that often require a large computational load not always available on conventional workstations. Moreover, algorithms are in continuous evolution and hence clinicians are typically required to update their workstation periodically. The main objective of this paper is to propose a secure and versatile client-server architecture for providing these services at a low cost. In particular, we developed a plug-in allowing OsiriX - a widespread medical image processing application dedicated to DICOM images coming from several equipments - to interact with a system for automatic detection of suspicious lesions in breast DCE-MRI. The large amount of data and the privacy of the information flowing through the network requires a flexible but comprehensive security approach. According to NIST guidelines, in our proposal data are transmitted over SSL/TLS channel after an authentication and authorization procedure based on X.509 standard digital certificate associated with a 3072bit RSA Key Pair. Authentication and authorization procedure is achieved through the services offered by Java JAAS classes.
