Selecting the single best blastocyst based on morphological appearance for implantation is a crucial part of in vitro fertilization (IVF). Various deep learning and computer vision-based methods have recently been applied for assessing blastocyst qua...
STUDY QUESTION: What is the accuracy and agreement of embryologists when assessing the implantation probability of blastocysts using time-lapse imaging (TLI), and can it be improved with a data-driven algorithm?
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 fertilized oocytes, the majority of which will be determined to be n...

The Uterine Junctional Zone (JZ) is identified as an important anatomical region in the implantation process during assisted reproduction. The JZ changes throughout the hormone stimulation cycle and has predictive value for implantation success. Desp...
STUDY QUESTION: What is the inter-observer agreement among embryologists for decision to freeze blastocysts of borderline morphology and can it be improved with a modified grading system?
BACKGROUND: Poor implantation rates continue to be the determinant factor for results in assisted reproductive techniques; many factors are thought to be involved including embryo quality, endometrial receptivity and embryo transfer. Assisted hatchin...
