New technologies in multimedia and communication fields have introduced new ways to transfer and save the medical image data through open networks, which has introduced new risks of inappropriate use of medical information. Medical images are highly sensitive hence secured transmission and reception of data is needed with minimal distortion. Medical image security plays an important role in the field of Telemedicine. Telemedicine has numerous applications in teleconsulting, teleradiology, telediagnosis, telesurgery and remote medical education. Our work is to analyze about the different embedding techniques that can be used for embedding the personal and diagnosed details of a person within the medical images without any visual discrepancy. Also to survey about the blind extraction algorithm utilizing genetic algorithm for optimization of the key parameters.
