Abstract: Digital Watermarking is the art and science of embedding information in existing digital content for Digital Rights Management (DRM) and authentication. Reversible watermarking is a class of (fragile) digital watermarking that not only authenticates multimedia data content, but also helps to maintain perfect integrity of the original multimedia â€œcover dataâ€. Watermarking of digital images is a well-known technique that is widely used for securing image contents. A successful watermarking method must be accurate, reversible, resilient, and robust against various attacks. The technical revolution associated with the implementation the development of digital technologies in medicine, has led to the emergence and active development of new directions in many areas of medicine. The authenticity and integrity of medical images has to be protected. Hence in this paper a reversible digital image watermarking technique for integrity and authenticity of MR (Magnetic Resonance) images is presented. Reversible watermarking is recognized as a robust approach to confirm the integrity and authenticity of medical images and to verify that alterations can be detected and tracked back.
