Average Dice coefficients (DCs) (±standard deviations) for automatic segmentations of myelin-like signals in deep brain region compared with manual segmentations for 16 test subjects aged between 29 and 44 gestational weeks.

Method	Average DC	p-value
Thresholding at the 6th percentile	0.789 ± 0.091	0.043
GMM	0.762 ± 0.092	0.001
GMM-PV	0.662 ± 0.192	0.002
GMM-PV-MRF	0.837 ± 0.057	—

GMM-PV-MRF is compared with all the other methods using two-tailed Student’s t-tests at the 5% significance level.
