Abstract

Digital medical images are very easy to be modified for illegal purposes. An attacker may perform this act in order to stop a political candidate, sabotage research, commit insurance fraud, perform an act of terrorism, or even commit murder. Between the machine that performs medical scans and the radiologist monitor, medical images pass through different devices: in this chain an attacker can perform its malicious action. In this paper we propose a method aimed to avoid medical images modifications by means of equivalence checking. Magnetic images are represented as finite state automata and equivalence checking is exploited to check whether the medical resource have been subject to illegal modifications.
