Exploiting Vulnerabilities Of MRI Scanner Machine: Lebanon Case Study

Abstract

Internet of Things (IoT) in the modern healthcare environment is continuously growing to offer a seamless platform to monitor patients in hospitals making our lives easier. Medical Imaging Devices (MIDs), such as Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) systems are commonly connected to hospital networks becoming increasingly vulnerable to cyberattacks such as Ransomware. This paper attempts to discuss vulnerabilities in the MRI scanner that ransomware can exploit to propagate through a system.
