Global Energetic Neutral Atom (ENA) images of the Hydrogen and Oxygen ring current in the 10-200 keV range have been obtained by IMAGE/HENA for five years. Approximately 40 storms have been succesfully imaged. Over the years a constrained linear inversion technique has been developed that can retrieve the equatorial ring current ion distributions from the ENA images. It uses the Tsyganenko [2003] magnetic field model and assumes pitch-angle distributions based on in-situ data. We investigate the general morphology of the ring current during storm times with special attention to the question of how much the storm-time substorm injections contribute to the ring current pressure. We discuss and compare observations with ring current models.
