An important step toward delivering an accurate connectome of the human brain is robust segmentation of 3D Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scans, which is particularly challenging when carried out on perinatal data. In this paper, we present an automated, deep learning-based pipeline for accurate segmentation of tissues from neonatal brain MRI and extend it by […]
