Accurate brain segmentation in preterm infants is crucial for predicting neurodevelopmental risks. A new adaptive algorithm, AdaPT, improves segmentation accuracy, especially in challenging neonatal images with anatomical variability.

Area of Science:

  • Medical imaging analysis
  • Neonatal neuroscience
  • Computational anatomy

Background:

  • Premature infants face increased neurodevelopmental risks, necessitating reliable biomarkers.
  • Accurate segmentation of neonatal brain structures (white matter, cortical surface) is vital for risk prediction.
  • Existing automated segmentation methods struggle with neonatal imaging challenges like low contrast and anatomical variability.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and evaluate an adaptive segmentation algorithm for neonatal brain imaging.
  • To improve the accuracy and robustness of automated brain segmentation in preterm infants.
  • To address specific challenges in neonatal neuroimaging, including partial volume effects and anatomical variability.

Main Methods:

  • Developed an adaptive preterm multi-modal maximum a posteriori expectation-maximisation segmentation algorithm (AdaPT).

  • Incorporated iterative relaxation of spatial priors, intensity non-uniformity correction, and a Markov random field for spatial homogeneity.
  • Explicitly modeled partial volume effects to mitigate grey and white matter contrast inversion in neonatal brains.

    • Main Results:

    • AdaPT demonstrated significantly improved Dice overlap scores compared to a standard maximum likelihood expectation-maximisation algorithm.
    • Validation on a cohort of 92 infants showed enhanced accuracy for segmenting cortical grey matter, cerebellum, and ventricular volumes.
    • The algorithm effectively handled significant anatomical disparity and pathological variations in the neonatal cohort.

    Conclusions:

    • The adaptive maximum a posteriori expectation-maximisation algorithm (AdaPT) provides accurate and robust neonatal brain segmentation.
    • AdaPT is a valuable tool for neuroimaging research and clinical applications in preterm infants.
    • Improved segmentation facilitates better identification of neurodevelopmental risks in this vulnerable population.
