In this work, we proposed a transfer learning based FCN method which can automatically detect the fetal brain in MRI. We used the off-the-shelf model weights trained on nature images to initialize a fully connected network (FCN), and then fine-tuned the model on the fetal MRIs. We tested our method on two datasets with different MRI sequences, and the results demonstrated that the proposed method is automatic, fast and robust for detection of fetal brain in MRI.
