Abstract

BACKGROUND: Automated segmentation of the placenta by MRI in early pregnancy may help predict normal and aberrant placenta function, which could improve the efficiency of placental assessment and the prediction of pregnancy outcomes. An automated segmentation method that works at one gestational age may not transfer effectively to other gestational ages.
