Alternative Astronomical FITS Imaging

Some important information on images of radio sources, such as radio flux and the noise of the map, is not easily accessible by astronomers other than radio astronomers, unless they are familiar with the Astronomical Image Processing Software. In the current work, we present a method of data hiding inside the radio map, which can be preserved under transformations, such as change of format from FITS to other lossless image formats.
