An automatic pipeline for atlas-based fetal and neonatal brain segmentation and analysis.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: The automatic segmentation of perinatal brain structures in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is of utmost importance for the study of brain growth and related complications. While different methods exist for adult and pediatric MRI data, there is a lack for automatic tools...

While different methods exist for adult and pediatric MRI data, there is a lack for automatic tools for the analysis of perinatal imaging. METHODS: In this work, a new pipeline for fetal and neonatal segmentation has been developed. We also report the creation of two new fetal atlases, and their use within the pipeline for atlas-based segmentation, based on novel registration methods. The pipeline is also able to extract cortical and pial surfaces and compute features, such as curvature, local gyrification index, sulcal depth, and thickness.
