Fetal brain surface atlas, weeks 21-36 of gestation, constructed using 242 in-utero scans from the fetal dHCP cohort.

The following surfaces were generated: pial, mid-thickness, white matter and very inflated. The maps of changes in cortical morphology - sulcal depthSulc, curvatureCurv, and thicknessThick - are also available

Pictures of the white matter surface (right hemisphere) are here: WM right

The template was generated by adapting the procedure developed for the neonatal surface atlas in Bozek et al. (2018 NeuroImage, 179, 11–29), which iteratively refines templates through a repeated alignment of individuals to a common space using the MSM algorithm. The first stage was to generate a common reference space, which was initialised via affine sulcal-depth-based registration to the dHCP neonatal GW36 template. From this, an initial set of age-specific templates was then generated through adaptive kernel-weighted averaging of co-registered surfaces, where weights were given by a Gaussian kernel, centered at each GW, with width adapted for each template to compensate for differences in the number of available scans. At subsequent 5 iterations, age-specific templates were obtained through non-rigid MSM alignment of all examples to the template from the previous iteration. This was driven by sulcal depth (for the 2nd iteration) and mean curvature thereafter.

Description This repository contains spatio-temporal surface atlas, spanning 21-36 weeks of gestation, generated by adapting the procedure developed for the neonatal surface atlas in Bozek et al., 2018, which iteratively refines templates through a repeated alignment of individuals to a common space using MSM algorithm to the fetal data. At each iteration, the age-specific templates are obtained through weighted averaging of co-registered surfaces, whereby weights are defined by the Gaussians centred on the gestational weeks for which templates are calculated, and are subsequently used as a target space for the following iteration. Adaptive kernel regression, compensating for a difference in the number of scans available for different ages, was used to parameterise the width of the Gaussians. The atlas was generated in three stages: first, a common reference space was initialised via affine sulcal-depth-based registration to the dHCP neonatal GW36 template. At the next iteration, the template was refined using sulcal-depth-based nonlinear alignment, followed by 4 iterations of curvature-based alignment (a more fine-grained feature than the sulcal depth).
