Data protection is important. it is especially required for competent patient protection. If it is not done well, it can pose various problems. The problems of leakage can make patients vulnerable. This literally means that the healthcare environment can be threatened in this aspect. DICOM is a digitalized image compression technique using radiologic materials. It restores CT, PET-CT, and X-ray images in order to gain a specific image. It is then compiled to be sent as PACS. These imaging techniques use matrix as a data presenting method. However, it is sent in a linear form. It does not mean that it is not protected, but it means that there are various risks to be managed. In our report, we review that, in the future, a double layer of encryption with patient voice can dramatically evolve the probability of accessing patient healthcare data. This can also be applied in EMR or EHR in the future. The limitations of this study are that there are still risks of cyber-attack. The DDoS can totally make the system function down. However, we see this as a different problem as this is an electronic source matter rather than a hack of preserved data.
