Abstract: To completely comprehend neurodevelopment in healthy and congenitally abnormal fetuses, quantitative analysis of the human fetal brain is essential. This analysis requires the use of automatic multi-tissue fetal brain segmentation techniques. This paper proposes an end-to-end automatic yet effective method for a multi-tissue fetal brain segmentation model called IRMMNET. It includes a inception residual encoder block (EB) and a dense spatial attention (DSAM) block, which facilitate the extraction of multi-scale fetal-brain-tissue-relevant information from multi-view MRI images, enhance the feature reuse, and substantially reduce the number of parameters of the segmentation model. Additionally, we propose three methods for predicting gestational age (GA)-GA prediction by using a 3D autoencoder, GA prediction using radiomics features, and GA prediction using the IRMMNET segmentation model's encoder. Our experiments were performed on a dataset of 80 pathological and non-pathological magnetic resonance fetal brain volume reconstructions across a range of gestational ages (20 to 33 weeks) that were manually segmented into seven different tissue categories. The results showed that the proposed fetal brain segmentation model achieved a Dice score of 0.791 & PLUSMN;0.18, outperforming the state-of-the-art methods. The radiomics-based GA prediction methods achieved the best results (RMSE: 1.42). We also demonstrated the generalization capabilities of the proposed methods for tasks such as head and neck tumor segmentation and the prediction of patients' survival days.
