Automatic Quantification of Normal Brain Gyrification Patterns and Changes in Fetuses with Polymicrogyria and Lissencephaly Based on MRI [PEDIATRIC NEUROIMAGING]

CONCLUSIONS:
This study presents a pipeline for automatic quantification of fetal brain gyrification and provides normal developmental curves from a large cohort. Our method significantly differentiated fetuses with lissencephaly and polymicrogyria, demonstrating lower gyrification values. The method can aid radiologic assessment, highlight fetuses at risk, and may improve early identification of fetuses with cortical malformations.
