A normative spatiotemporal MRI atlas of the fetal brain for automatic segmentation and analysis of early brain growth

Abstract Longitudinal characterization of early brain growth in-utero has been limited by a number of challenges in fetal imaging, the rapid change in size, shape and volume of the developing brain, and the consequent lack of suitable algorithms for fetal brain image analysis. There is a need for an...
