Researchers have developed MorphoBranch, a new workbench designed for the precise morphometric analysis of branched cellular structures like neurons and microglia. This system integrates a deterministic Morphometry Engine for image-to-graph processing and a novel LLM-assisted Refinement Engine that allows users to adjust parameters and execute tasks using natural language. Evaluations on public and in-house datasets demonstrated MorphoBranch's superior performance in skeleton accuracy and length estimation compared to existing methods, with its Refinement Engine achieving a high success rate in handling user requests.
