1. A method for processing two and three dimensional data in an MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) system, comprising the steps of:

  • acquiring three dimensional data having a plurality of two dimensional data;

    storing the acquired three dimensional data;

    reading out one of the plurality of two dimensional data from the stored three dimensional data;

    reconstructing a two dimensional image by a two dimensional Fourier transform process for the read out two dimensional data;

    displaying the reconstructed two dimensional image;

    reading out the stored three dimensional data;

    reconstructing a three dimensional image by a three dimensional Fourier transform process for the read out three dimensional data; and

    displaying the reconstructed three dimensional image after the reconstructed two dimensional image is displayed.
