This work was performed in the context of the Santa Catarina State Integrated Telemedicine and Telehealth System-STT/SC. In this work, we analyze the applicability of HDF5 as an underlying structure for Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM)-compliant Picture Archiving and Communications Systems (PACS). In its present version, HDF5, it is a widely employed data format that can be found in various kinds of scientific projects, from atmospheric research to financial data. The need for the creation of a highly scalable storage format, allowing extensions in order to encompass any kind of scientific data, motivated the development of the Hierarchical Data Format (HDF). Besides these timeframes, many countries provide also quality criteria for the storage procedures to be employed. In some countries, there are specific timeframes depending on the modality of the examination: In the UK, mammograms have to be stored for 9 to 15 years in Germany, X-rays must be available for 30 years and in Brazil, the timeframe is 20 years, independently of the modality. In the USA, it varies from 5 to 10 years, with the possibility of extension if there is a governmental demand. The timeframe during which a given medical imaging examination has to be available depends directly on the laws of each country.
