The Developing Brain Region Annotation With Expectation-Maximization (Draw-EM) is a MIRTK Package for neonatal brain MR image segmentation into multiple labels. It uses Expectation-Maximization (EM) to segment a brain into the different tissue types as well as detailed structures of the brain [1]. It has been used to map regional brain development in a large cohort of pre-term infants [2].
