Abstract
In this paper two potential applications of data hiding technology in a medical scenario are considered. In particular the first application refers to labelling and the watermarking algorithm provides the possibility of directly embed into a medical image the data of the patient; the second application regards authentication and integrity verification, and data hiding is applied for verifying whether and where the content has been modified or falsified since its distribution. Two algorithms developed for these specific purposes will be presented.
