Embryo evaluation and selection embody the aggregate manifestation of the entire in vitro
fertilization (IVF) process. It aims to choose the “best” embryos from the larger cohort of …

Published reports have indicated that rates of preimplantation embryo aneuploidy in a
control donor population may vary between IVF centres. This suggests that location-specific …

Objective To describe novel embryo features capable of predicting implantation potential as
input data for an artificial neural network (ANN) model. Design Retrospective cohort study …

STUDY QUESTION What is the clinical value of Day 7 blastocysts? SUMMARY ANSWER
Ending embryo culture at 144 hours post-insemination (hpi; ie 6 days) would involve 7.3 …

During preimplantation development, the human embryo forms the blastocyst, the structure
enabling uterine implantation. The blastocyst consists of an epithelial envelope, the …

Research question Can artificial intelligence (AI) discriminate a blastocyst's cellular area
from unedited time-lapse image files using semantic segmentation and a deep learning …

The ultimate goal of human assisted reproductive technology is to achieve a healthy
pregnancy and birth, ideally from the selection and transfer of a single competent embryo …

In order to maintain pregnancy rates following single embryo transfer, optimisation of
embryo culture and selection is vital. Time-lapse monitoring (TLM) has the potential to play a …

Improving the safety and efficacy of assisted reproductive technology programs has been a
continuous challenge. Traditionally, morphological grading has been used for embryo …

Background Despite all research efforts during this era of novel time-lapse morphokinetic
parameters, a morphological grading system is still routinely being used for embryo …
