摘要

Accurate fibrosis quantification is essential for understanding muscle and cardiac disease, yet current manual and semi‑automated methods remain slow, subjective, and poorly reproducible. We introduce FibroTrack, a standalone deep learning platform with a graphical user interface (GUI) that streamlines fibrosis analysis across Sirius Red (SR), Masson’s Trichrome (MT), and immunohistochemistry (IHC) stainings. FibroTrack uniquely integrates LAB (lightness, green–red, blue–yellow) color space normalization with a You Only Look Once version 11 (YOLOv11) segmentation model trained on 2,034 histological images. This approach achieved 99.5% mask precision for muscle segmentation and demonstrated excellent concordance with blinded pathologists (Spearman correlation, r = 0.87–0.96). Automated outputs include segmented images and structured spreadsheets, ensuring high reproducibility and scalability. By combining advanced color analysis with state‑of‑the‑art segmentation in an accessible tool, FibroTrack provides a novel, accurate, and clinically relevant solution for high‑throughput fibrosis quantification in both preclinical research and pathology practice.
