Since the medical images frequently contain sensitive patient data, the growing digitization of healthcare has raised serious concerns about medical image security. In order to provide strong protection, this study suggests a revolutionary two-stage encryption method for medical photos that combines the Lorenz Algorithm with an Improved Logistic Chaotic Map. Steganography is also used to embed the encrypted image in a cover file, which hides the data and adds an additional layer of security.The technology fixes vulnerabilities that arise when medical images are sent and stored across unprotected networks or cloud services. Preprocessing methods guarantee effective encryption without sacrificing image quality. This strategy seeks to adhere to stringent patient data privacy laws, enhance health informatics security, and protect medical data. The suggested approach shows great promise for effectively protecting huge, high-resolution medical photographs, which qualifies it for use in practical healthcare settings.
