Abstract
To evaluate the feasibility of magnetic resonance (MR) virtual endoscopy of the pancreaticobiliary tract by using MR cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) d ata sets as source images, we retrospectively reviewed MRCP data sets of 12 0 patients with Navigator software (GE/Medical Systems, Milwaukee, WI) that allowed display of inner views by surface rendering the internal wall of t he bile ducts with simulated light and shadow.
