Gestational ages (GAs) predicted for 114 preterm infants and compared to the nominal GAs using the logistic growth models for myelin-like signals (MLS) in the deep brain region and brainstem. The predictions based on MLS in the brainstem display larger deviations from the nominal GAs than in the deep brain region. This is because most of the MLS spatio-temporal changes between 29 and 44 weeks GA occur in the deep brain region, whereas the brainstem provides much less information on progressing myelination during this particular age period.
