However, conventional segmentation methods such as manual labeling or thresholding are labor-intensive and prone to artifacts. We systematically evaluated six deep learning segmentation architectures (U-Net, U-Net++, FPN, MANet, LinkNet, and PSPNet) paired with seven common backbones (ResNet50\/101\/152, MobileNetV2, VGG16\/19, and EfficientNet-b4) for automated astrocyte segmentation. The performance was compared to segmentation tools such as Ilastik, Cellpose, and GESUnet. A dataset of 220 manually labeled GFAP-stained ferret brain images (631\u00d7486 pixels) was used, including 182 training images from a single TBI case and 38 test images from 18 ferrets under sham and TBI conditions. Models were trained with a learning rate of 0.0001 over 200 epochs and evaluated using metrics including Dice coefficient (DC or F1 Score), intersection over union (IoU), precision, accuracy, specificity, and sensitivity (or recall). Performance evaluation was conducted in two steps: 5-fold cross-validation and testing on a separate dataset. UNet++\/VGG19 achieved the best results (IoU: 50.01%, DC: 65.48%), outperforming other configurations and existing tools (IoU: 28.00\u201339.86%, DC: 42.94\u201354.40%). This model demonstrated robust segmentation of complex astrocytic morphologies and enabled accurate quantification of astrocyte reactivity across experimental conditions, supporting the use of deep learning for automated pathology assessment in TBI.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/jnen\/nlaf114","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,9,9]],"date-time":"2025-09-09T11:38:26Z","timestamp":1757417906000},"page":"109-125","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Comprehensive benchmarking of deep learning approaches for automated astrocyte segmentation in traumatic brain injury"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"85","author":[{"given":"Amirhossein","family":"Bagherian","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biomedical Engineering and Chemical Engineering, University of Texas at San Antonio , San Antonio, TX,","place":["United States"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"O F M Riaz","family":"Rahman Aranya","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Computer Science, University of Texas at San Antonio , San Antonio, TX,","place":["United States"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Allison","family":"Kosub","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biomedical Engineering and Chemical Engineering, University of Texas at San Antonio , San Antonio, TX,","place":["United States"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Marissa","family":"Redington","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biomedical Engineering, Illinois Institute of Technology , Chicago, IL,","place":["United States"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kevin","family":"Desai","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Computer Science, University of Texas at San Antonio , San Antonio, TX,","place":["United States"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0232-2447","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Marzieh","family":"Memar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biomedical Engineering and Chemical Engineering, University of Texas at San Antonio , San Antonio, TX,","place":["United States"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,10,27]]},"reference":[{"key":"2026012903013235100_nlaf114-B1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"3865","DOI":"10.1002\/cne.24040","article-title":"The search for true numbers of neurons and glial cells in the human brain: a review of 150 years of cell counting","volume":"524","author":"Von Bartheld","year":"2016","journal-title":"J Comp Neurol"},{"key":"2026012903013235100_nlaf114-B2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","DOI":"10.1093\/acprof:oso\/9780195152227.001.0001","volume-title":"Neuroglia","author":"Kettenmann","year":"2004"},{"key":"2026012903013235100_nlaf114-B3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","DOI":"10.1002\/9781118402061","volume-title":"Glial Physiology and Pathophysiology","author":"Verkhratsky","year":"2013"},{"key":"2026012903013235100_nlaf114-B4","author":"Wei"},{"key":"2026012903013235100_nlaf114-B5","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2017","DOI":"10.1007\/s00429-017-1383-5","article-title":"Human astrocytes: structure and functions in the healthy brain","volume":"222","author":"Vasile","year":"2017","journal-title":"Brain Struct Funct"},{"key":"2026012903013235100_nlaf114-B6","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"23","DOI":"10.1007\/978-1-61779-452-0_3","article-title":"Heterogeneity of astrocytic form and function.
