Ease of alterations puts data on CD media at risk
A study from Denmark reveals that CD media used to transfer imaging data are vulnerable to easy alteration. Information such as patient name, age, institute name, and date of imaging can be readily altered on DICOM files exported by CD.
A study from Denmark reveals that CD media used to transfer imaging data are vulnerable to easy alteration. Information such as patient name, age, institute name, and date of imaging can be readily altered on DICOM files exported by CD.
No alterations to the DICOM readers were required, said Fintan McEvoy, a computer engineer at the University of Copenhagen. Changes were applied only to the data files, and the alterations were not detectable without detailed analysis of the file structure.
McEvoy said CD media should be considered unsafe in any situation with potential for financial or other gain from altering the data and when the copy cannot be cross-checked with the original data. These situations include insurance claims, medical litigation, and certification procedures.
New CT and MRI Research Shows Link Between LR-M Lesions and Rapid Progression of Early-Stage HCC
January 2nd 2025Seventy percent of LR-M hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cases were associated with rapid growth in comparison to 12.5 percent of LR-4 HCCs and 28.5 percent of LR-4 HCCs, according to a new study.
Study Examines Impact of Deep Learning on Fast MRI Protocols for Knee Pain
December 17th 2024Ten-minute and five-minute knee MRI exams with compressed sequences facilitated by deep learning offered nearly equivalent sensitivity and specificity as an 18-minute conventional MRI knee exam, according to research presented recently at the RSNA conference.
