Abstract
Segmentation of the developing cortical plate from MRI data of the fetal brain is highly challenging due to partial volume effects, low contrast and heterogeneous maturation caused by ongoing myelination processes. We present a new atlas-free method for segmenting the boundary between the cortical plate and subplate in fetal brains, by exploiting diffusion-weighted imaging cues. The accuracy of the segmentation algorithm is demonstrated by application to fetal sheep brain MRI data.
