الوصف: Introduction: Fetal resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI) is a rapidly evolving field that provides valuable insight into brain development before birth. Accurate segmentation of the fetal brain from the surrounding tissue in nonstationary 3D brain volumes poses a significant challenge in this domain. Current available tools have 0.15 accuracy. Aim: This study introduced a novel application of artificial intelligence (AI) for automated brain segmentation in fetal brain fMRI, magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). Open datasets were employed to train AI models, assess their performance, and analyze their capabilities and limitations in addressing the specific challenges associated with fetal brain fMRI segmentation. Method: We utilized an open-source fetal functional MRI (fMRI) dataset consisting of 160 cases (reference: fetal-fMRI - OpenNeuro). An AI model for fMRI segmentation was developed using a 5-fold cross-validation methodology. Three AI models were employed: 3D UNet, VNet, and HighResNet. Optuna, an automated hyperparameter-tuning tool, was used to optimize these models. Results and Discussion: The Dice scores of the three AI models (VNet, UNet, and HighRes-net) were compared, including a comparison between manually tuned and automatically tuned models using Optuna. Our findings shed light on the performance of different AI models for fetal resting-state fMRI brain segmentation. Although the VNet model showed promise in this application, further investigation is required to fully explore the potential and limitations of each model, including the HighRes-net model. This study serves as a foundation for further extensive research into the applications of AI in fetal brain fMRI segmentation.
