An automatic multi-tissue human fetal brain segmentation benchmark using the Fetal Tissue Annotation Dataset

Meritxell Bach Cuadra, Asim Iqbal

It is critical to quantitatively analyse the developing human fetal brain in order to fully understand neurodevelopment in both normal fetuses and those with congenital disorders. To facilitate this analysis, automatic multi-tissue fetal brain segmentation ...

Structural Brain Network Reorganization and Social Cognition Related to Adverse Perinatal Condition from Infancy to Early Adolescence

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Elda Fischi Gomez

Adverse conditions during fetal life have been associated to both structural and functional changes in neurodevelopment from the neonatal period to adolescence. In this study, connectomics was used to assess the evolution of brain networks from infancy to ...

Evaluation and Comparison of Current Fetal Ultrasound Image Segmentation Methods for Biometric Measurements: A Grand Challenge

Meritxell Bach Cuadra, Xavier Bresson, Anca-Ramona Ciurte

This paper presents the evaluation results of the methods submitted to Challenge US: Biometric Measurements from Fetal Ultrasound Images, a segmentation challenge held at the IEEE International Symposium on Biomedical Imaging 2012. The challenge was set to ...

Definition and quantification of acute inflammatory white matter injury in the immature brain by MRI/MRS at high magnetic field

Rolf Gruetter, Nicolas Kunz

Background: Intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) is a major risk factor for both perinatal and long-term morbidity. Bovine lactoferrin (bLf) is a major milk glycoprotein considered as a pleiotropic functional nutrient. The impact of maternal supplementat ...

Protective effects of maternal nutritional supplementation with lactoferrin on growth and brain metabolism

Rolf Gruetter, Yohan Van de Looij

Background:Intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) is a major risk factor for both perinatal and long-term morbidity. Bovine lactoferrin (bLf) is a major milk glycoprotein considered as a pleiotropic functional nutrient. The impact of maternal supplementati ...

Does Cancer Start in the Womb? Altered Mammary Gland Development and Predisposition to Breast Cancer due to in Utero Exposure to Endocrine Disruptors

Cathrin Brisken

We are now witnessing a resurgence of theories of development and carcinogenesis in which the environment is again being accepted as a major player in phenotype determination. Perturbations in the fetal environment predispose an individual to disease that ...

Developmental and metabolic brain alterations in rats exposed to bisphenol A during gestation and lactation

Rolf Gruetter, Nicolas Kunz

In recent years, considerable research has focused on the biological effect of endocrine-disrupting chemicals. Bisphenol A (BPA) has been implicated as an endocrine-disrupting chemical (EDC) due to its ability to mimic the action of endogenous estrogenic h ...

Spatial analysis of karst conduit networks and determination of parameters controlling the speleogenesis along preferential lithostratigraphic horizons

Marco Filipponi

The main objective of this thesis is to improve the understanding of the position and characteristics of karst conduits within a rock massif. Such a characterisation is an important issue in civil engineering and in hydrogeology. Today in practice dissolut ...

Brain Surface Segmentation of Magnetic Resonance Images of the Fetus

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Meritxell Bach Cuadra, Marie Schaer, Nawal Houhou, Dominique Zosso

In this work we present a method for the image analysis of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) of fetuses. Our goal is to segment the brain surface from multiple volumes (axial, coronal and sagittal acquisitions) of a fetus. To this end we propose a two-step ...
