A digitalized medical image data has personal information such as name and phone number or medical image that contains patient’s physical characteristics, so it requires protective measure. The simplest way for meeting this demand is encrypting that, but, in recently, performance problem occurs owing to a considerable increase of data size with the development of medical imaging equipment. Thus, we need the way that provides protection function by transforming only some elements of medical image information. In this paper, we propose the method of obfuscation and integrity verification by encrypting at the least part of medical image that is stored in JPEG or JPEG2000 format.
