Segmentation of Fetal Brain to Extract Limbic System Region from Raw Prenatal MRI.

Abstract

Brain is the major part of the human body. Brain disorder that affects certain behaviours of a person like communication, relationship with outers and response to environment, etc. such disorders are called as Autism. Some people show behaviours like relatively high functioning, with speech, intelligence intact as part of signs of autism. For some people, it may lead to put them off or locked to repetitive behaviours and change in pattern on thinking. All patients of autism do not have specific symptoms. This is caused due to improper functioning of brain cells and structures. Scientists and researchers are designing many techniques for finding more about normal and abnormal development of the brain. If this is discovered in the prenatal stage, then early diagnosing is possible before social impact on the patient is corrupted. Though there are many methods to find changes in brain structures of prenatal pregnancy stage, this paper concentrates on exploring a new one
