In this paper, we present a combination of high-resolution (HR) data from magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) and omni-directional viewing of stereoscopic maximum-intensity-projection. Since the presented method takes advantage of the property of magnetic resonance-hydrography (MR-hydrography) as one of the most selective signal acquisitions, the segmentation process is very simple, and loads in data-processing is drastically reduced. The source data acquisition was performed with a slice thickness of 0.8mm. Images created by this method are precise and realistic enough to enhance the diagnostic capabilities of MRCP. The stereoscopic viewing and omnidirectional surveying can facilitate an accurate grasp of the three-dimensional extent of the entire pancreaticobiliary system, even in the regions which can not be assessed, due to signal-overlay of either neighboring organs or between pan-creaticobiliary ducts. We are convinced that the presented post-processing is less time consumption and have a potential of optimizing HR-MRCP data sets.
