Abstract

OBJECTIVES: To develop a deep-learning method for whole-body fetal segmentation based on MRI; to assess the method's repeatability, reproducibility, and accuracy; to create an MRI-based normal fetal weight growth chart; and to assess the sensitivity to detect fetuses with growth restriction (FGR).
