We present a segmentation method for fetal brain tissuesof T2w MR images, based on the well known ExpectationMaximization Markov Random Field (EM- MRF) scheme. Ourmain contribution is an intensity model composed of 7Gaussian distribution designed to deal with the largeintensity variability of fetal brain tissues. The secondmain contribution is a 3-steps MRF model that introducesboth local spatial and anatomical priors given by acortical distance map. Preliminary results on 4 subjectsare presented and evaluated in comparison to manualsegmentations showing that our methodology cansuccessfully be applied to such data, dealing with largeintensity variability within brain tissues and partialvolume (PV).
