- Abstract summary: We report the creation of two new fetal atlases, and their use within the pipeline for atlas-based segmentation.
The pipeline is also able to extract cortical and pial surfaces and compute features, such as curvature, thickness, sulcal depth, and local gyrification index.

- Abstract: 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 for the analysis of
perinatal imaging. 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, thickness, sulcal
depth, and local gyrification index. Results show that the introduction of the
new templates together with our segmentation strategy leads to accurate results
when compared to expert annotations, as well as better performances when
compared to a reference pipeline (developing Human Connectome Project (dHCP)),
for both early and late-onset fetal brains.

High-field Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) has proven its improved capacity of capturing the Subthalamic Nucleus (STN) in greater detail than lower field images.
Here, we present a comparison between the performance of two different Deep Learning (DL) automatic segmentation architectures.
The evaluation metrics showed that the performance of the segmentation directly in the native space yielded better results for the STN segmentation.

Retinopathy of Prematurity (ROP) is an eye disorder primarily affecting premature infants with lower weights.
It causes proliferation of vessels in the retina and could result in vision loss and, eventually, retinal detachment, leading to blindness.
In recent years, there has been a significant effort to automate the diagnosis using deep learning.
This paper builds upon the success of previous models and develops a novel architecture, which combines object segmentation and convolutional neural networks (CNN)
Our proposed system first trains an object segmentation model to identify the demarcation line at a pixel level and adds the resulting mask as an additional "color" channel in
