Prioritization of Medical Image Security Features: Fuzzy AHP Approaches

Medical images are sensitive data about patients, hospitals, healthcare sector and, therefore, require secure transmission to protect their privacy. To ensure the security of medical image transmission, three essential factors are vitally employed: integrity, confidentiality, and authentication. In this study, we propose an F-AHP technique to determine the relative importance of these security factors. The technique was implemented using “Octave MATLAB tools” to obtain the weights for each factor, and the results showed that integrity is the most critical factor for the transmission of medical image security than confidentiality and authentication. This technique can help healthcare organizations to choose the appropriate security measures for transmitting medical images while ensuring that patient data is protected during transmission. Overall, the researcher highlights the importance of security in medical image transmission and provides a framework for healthcare organizations to implement effective security measures.
