Background:

Infant brain MRI segmentation is crucial but challenging due to evolving tissue contrasts.
Gray matter (GM) and white matter (WM) intensity convergence complicates accurate segmentation.
Automating segmentation of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), GM, and WM in infants is vital for developmental studies.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop an enhanced U-net model for precise automatic segmentation of infant brain tissues.
To improve the accuracy of segmenting CSF, GM, and WM in infant brain MRIs.
To evaluate the model's performance on the iSeg-2017 dataset.

Main Methods:

Utilized a U-net architecture with (2+1)D convolutional layers and skip connections.
Applied intensity normalization via histogram alignment for MRI data standardization.
Trained and evaluated the model on T1-weighted and T2-weighted MRI data from ten infant subjects using cross-validation.

Main Results:

Achieved an average segmentation accuracy of 92.2%, a 0.7% improvement over previous methods.
Demonstrated high performance metrics including sensitivity, precision, and Dice similarity scores.
Identified a slight bias in misclassifying GM and WM, indicating areas for future refinement.

Conclusions:

The U-net architecture is highly effective for infant brain tissue segmentation from MRI.
Future research will focus on attention mechanisms and dual-network processing to further enhance accuracy.
The developed model shows promise for advancing pediatric neuroimaging analysis.
