Zusammenfassung:A computer-implemented method for determining a fetus ventricular volume from DWI images is provided. The computer-implemented method involves acquiring DWI images, with a pre-set voxel height, of a fetus ventricle, the acquisition being made with a single b-value selected in a range between 200 and 1000 s/mm2, selecting a ROI on each of the DWI images around the fetus ventricle, automatically clusterizing pixels in the ROI, obtaining clusterized DWI images, and calculating the fetus ventricular volume based on the number of pixels in the ROI for each of the DWI images and the pre-set voxel height. An NMR assessment system and an NMR assessment method implementing the method for determining the fetus ventricular volume are also provided.
