  • To provide a tool for studying the role of microglia in brain diseases.

Main Methods:

  • Proposed μGlia-Flow, integrating segmentation and classification.
  • Utilized Frangi filtering for microglial branch segmentation.
  • Employed edge-guided attention TransUNet (EGA-Net) for soma segmentation.
  • Applied Vision Transformer (ViT) for morphology classification.

Main Results:

  • Frangi filtering enhanced branch segmentation quality.
  • EGA-Net improved segmentation accuracy (Dice: 4.02%, IoU: 6.75%).
  • ViT achieved >99% precision in classifying microglial morphologies.
  • Post-processing confirmed workflow accuracy and revealed complexity changes during activation.

Conclusions:

  • μGlia-Flow offers an automated solution for microglia segmentation and classification.
