3D Hyperchaotic Medical Image Encryption for Teleradiology Applications

The increasing reliance on teleradiology for remote medical image transmission necessitates robust security measures to safeguard patient information. This paper introduces a novel approach to secure medical images using 3D hyperchaotic-based encryption techniques. The encryption process involves the transformation of medical images into hyperchaotic attractors, making them resistant to conventional attacks. The inherent complexity of the hyperchaotic system ensures a high level of security, and the use of three-dimensional transformations enhances the encryption strength, making it suitable for safeguarding volumetric medical imaging data. The proposed method harnesses the intricate dynamics of hyperchaotic systems for enhancing the integrity and confidentiality of sensitive medical data during transmission and storage. Performance metrics such as entropy, correlation coefficients, NPCR, and UACI are evaluated. The results demonstrate that the 3D hyperchaotic-based encryption method provides a secure and efficient solution for protecting medical images in teleradiology environments. The 3D hyperchaotic-based encryption method offers a promising solution for ensuring the integrity and confidentiality of sensitive medical data, addressing the growing concern of unauthorized access and potential breaches in telemedicine systems.
