Imaging"],"abstract":"<jats:p>Microscopic image segmentation (MIS) is a fundamental task in medical imaging and biological research, essential for precise analysis of cellular structures and tissues. Despite its importance, the segmentation process encounters significant challenges, including variability in imaging conditions, complex biological structures, and artefacts (e.g., noise), which can compromise the accuracy of traditional methods. The emergence of deep learning (DL) has catalyzed substantial advancements in addressing these issues. This systematic literature review (SLR) provides a comprehensive overview of state-of-the-art DL methods developed over the past six years for the segmentation of microscopic images. We critically analyze key contributions, emphasizing how these methods specifically tackle challenges in cell, nucleus, and tissue segmentation. Additionally, we evaluate the datasets and performance metrics employed in these studies. By synthesizing current advancements and identifying gaps in existing approaches, this review not only highlights the transformative potential of DL in enhancing diagnostic accuracy and research efficiency but also suggests directions for future research. The findings of this study have significant implications for improving methodologies in medical and biological applications, ultimately fostering better patient outcomes and advancing scientific understanding.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jimaging10120311","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,12,6]],"date-time":"2024-12-06T06:25:16Z","timestamp":1733466316000},"page":"311","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":10,"title":["State-of-the-Art Deep Learning Methods for Microscopic Image Segmentation: Applications to Cells, Nuclei, and Tissues"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"10","author":[{"given":"Fatma","family":"Krikid","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Institut Pascal, CNRS, Clermont Auvergne INP, Universit\u00e9 Clermont Auvergne, F-63000 Clermont-Ferrand, France"}]},{"given":"Hugo","family":"Rositi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"LORIA, CNRS, Universit\u00e9 de Lorraine, F-54000 Nancy, France"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9616-3282","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Antoine","family":"Vacavant","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institut Pascal, CNRS, Clermont Auvergne INP, Universit\u00e9 Clermont Auvergne, F-63000 Clermont-Ferrand, France"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,12,6]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Kherlopian, A.R., Song, T., Duan, Q., Neimark, M.A., Po, M.J., Gohagan, J.K., and Laine, A.F.
