A standard uncompressed CT slice is ~512kb, so multiply that by the number of slices. Angiograms tend to be much larger as well.

I'm starting to see 1000-slice scans more often, but I hear 100-400 was more common back when size was a pressing concern.

Apparently you haven’t seen what the Toshibas/Canons can pump out. Some can be 6000 slices or more.
