“…This includes the development of specialised tools for tissue segmentation that address the difficulties in resolving tissue boundaries blurred through the presence of low resolution and partial volume. A variety of techniques have been proposed for tissue segmentation of the neonatal brain in recent years: unsupervised techniques (Gui et al, 2012), atlas fusion techniques (Weisenfeld and Warfield, 2009;Gousias et al, 2013;Kim et al, 2016), parametric techniques (Prastawa et al, 2005;Song et al, 2007;Xue et al, 2007;Shi et al, 2010;Cardoso et al, 2013;Makropoulos et al, 2012;Wang et al, 2012;Wu and Avants, 2012;Beare et al, 2016;Liu et al, 2016), classification techniques (Anbeek et al, 2008;Srhoj-Egekher et al, 2012;Chiţȃ et al, 2013;Wang et al, 2015;Sanroma et al, 2016;Moeskops et al, 2016) and deformable models (Wang et al, 2011;Dai et al, 2013;Wang et al, 2013Wang et al, , 2014. A review of neonatal segmentation methods can be found in Devi et al (2015); Makropoulos et al (2017).…”
