In an addressing and access method for image objects in computer-aided medical image information systems in the framework of a network-based array composed of, among other things, modality computers of image-generating systems, image workstations, data management computers of image storing and archiving systems, a logical archive address is generated for each image object, in which logical archive address all image object parts (in particular their specific attributes) are coded and from which unambiguous physical archive address of each image object part is calculated. The one image object part is physically stored under this calculated physical archive address.
