Core Tip This proof-of-concept study shows that magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography-derived biliary anatomy can be transformed by an integrated artificial-intelligence workflow into a quantitative three-dimensional model of biliary strictures. By combining region-of-interest localization, transformer-based segmentation, projection-based multi-view classification, synthetic morphology restoration, and centerline-guided mesh generation, the pipeline reframes biliary stricture analysis from qualitative image review toward reproducible structural modeling and candidate stent-planning geometry. Binary stricture detection was highly accurate internally, whereas reconstruction of complex hilar or intrahepatic anatomy remained challenging and requires external validation before clinical use.
