Abstract

Motion-corrected fetal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is widely employed in large-scale fetal brain studies. However, the current processing pipelines and spatio-temporal atlases tend to omit craniofacial structures, which are known to be linked to genetic syndromes. In this work, we present the first spatio-temporal atlas of the fetal head that includes craniofacial features and covers 21 to 36 weeks gestational age range. Additionally, we propose a fully automated pipeline for fetal ocular biometry based on a 3D convolutional neural network (CNN). The extracted biometric indices are used for the growth trajectory analysis of changes in ocular metrics for 253 normal fetal subjects from the developing human connectome project (dHCP).
