Picture archiving and communication systems (PACS) require high-speed networks to transmit large image files between components.Image-data transmission from one site another through public network is usually characterized in term of privacy, authenticity, integrity.However, network's security issues had always been the significant problems.Recent years, IPv6 brings improvements mechanisms for assuring a higher level confidentiality transmitted information.Thus, it still necessary take care some particular aspects.In this paper, we first analyzes how actual threats different types attacks affect while transmitting Digital Imaging Communications Medicine (DICOM) Internet.Second, illustrate shortcomings IPv6's traffic loads.Finally, possible solutions against number DICOM have given.
