Title
Detection and Prevention of Cyber Attacks Aimed at Medical Imaging Devices
Summary
The goal of our study is to research vulnerabilities in medical imaging devices and develop novel detection and prevention techniques to protect MIDs from cyber attacks. We investigate the effects of such attacks on medical images in order to learn the best way to protect from such attacks.
Aims
Aim 1: Investigate the effects of cyber attacks on medical images.
Aim 2: Develop a detection and prevention framework to protect medical imaging devices from cyber attacks.
