A method for storing tomographic volume data includes segmenting the tomographic volume data into individual slice images, arranging the individual slice images as a sequence of video frames, and compressing and/or decompressing the tomographic volume data by a video compression and/or decompression method). A tomography system includes a compression device configured to compress tomographic volume data by a video compression and/or decompression method, and/or a decompression device configured to decompress the tomographic volume data by the video compression and/or decompression method, the tomographic volume data being segmented into individual slice images, and the individual slice images being arranged as a sequence of video frames. A computer program product includes, and a computer-readable non-transitory storage medium is encoded with instructions that when executed by a processor cause the processor to carry out the method for storing the tomographic volume data.
