Normal 3D cervix models for fetal MRI
This repository contains 3D structural T2w po 3T and 0.55T MRI atlases of the normal cervix anatomy cretated at King's College London from 3D D/SVR T2w reconstructed images.
Structural 3D T2w MRI altases of the normal cervix anatomy
The 2 population-averaged cervix atlases were created from two acquisition protocols from 81 (0.55T, TE=105ms) and 61 (3T, TE=180ms) 3D DSVR reconstructed images (Uus et al., 2020: https://doi.org/10.1109/tmi.2020.2974844) of normal control subjects without reported anomalies. The atlases were generated in MIRTK toolbox in 5 iterations using rigid, affine and non-rigid registration followed by averaging with Laplacian sharpening with 0.8mm isotropic resolution. The atlases were then parcellated by 3D segmentation network into 3 layers: endocervical canal, subglandular zone, outer stroma.
Publication is coming soon!
