Two image datasets (one thick section dataset and another volumetric dataset) were typically reconstructed from each single CT projection data. The volumetric dataset was stored in a mini-PACS with 271-Gb online and 680-Gb nearline storage and routed to radiologists' workstations, whereas the thick section dataset was stored in the main PACS. Over a 5-month sample period, 278 Gb of CT data (8976 examinations) was stored in the main PACS, and 738 Gb of volumetric datasets (6193 examinations) was stored in the mini-PACS. The volumetric datasets formed 32.8% of total data for all modalities (2.20 Tb) in the main PACS and mini-PACS combined. At the end of this period, the volumetric datasets of 1892 and 5162 examinations were kept online and nearline, respectively. Mini-PACS offers an effective method of archiving every volumetric dataset and delivering it to radiologists.
