Abstract

PURPOSE: Endometrial histology on hematoxylin and eosin (H&E)-stained preparations provides information associated with receptivity. However, traditional histological examination by Noyes' dating method is of limited value as it is prone to subjectivity and is not well correlated with fertility status or pregnancy outcome. This study aims to mitigate the weaknesses of Noyes' dating by analyzing endometrial histology through deep learning (DL) algorithm to predict the chance of pregnancy.
