Abstract
To estimate the size of the media necessary to construct a medical ima ge database, a statistical analysis was made of the radiological data in our hospital information system database. The distribution of the t otal radiological image data storage required during one working day c an be regarded as a normal distribution, and the distribution per pati ent was different from a normal one. Therefore, the mean amount requir ed for the data storage of radiological images during one working day is very useful in estimating the data storage required for radiologica l images during a given number of working days.
