: Infertility rates and the number of couples undergoing reproductive care have both increased substantially during the last few decades. Semen analysis is a crucial step in both the diagnosis and the treatment of male infertility. The accuracy of se...
Infertility is a common disorder affecting 20% of couples worldwide. Furthermore, 40% of all cases are related to male infertility. The first step in the determination of male infertility is semen analysis. The morphology, concentration, and motility...
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Infertility affects approximately one in ten couples, and almost half of the infertility cases are due to the malefactor. To diagnose infertility and determine future treatment, a semen analysis is performed. Evaluation of s...
Infertility rates and the number of couples seeking fertility care have increased worldwide over the past few decades. Over 2.5 million cycles of assisted reproductive technologies are being performed globally every year, but the success rate has rem...
OBJECTIVE: To measure human sperm intracellular pH (pH) and develop a machine-learning algorithm to predict successful conventional in vitro fertilization (IVF) in normospermic patients.
We propose a deep learning method based on the Region Based Convolutional Neural Networks (R-CNN) architecture for the evaluation of sperm head motility in human semen videos. The neural network performs the segmentation of sperm heads, while the pro...

The ability to evaluate sperm at the microscopic level, at high-throughput, would be useful for assisted reproductive technologies (ARTs), as it can allow specific selection of sperm cells for in vitro fertilization (IVF). The tradeoff between intrin...
BACKGROUND: Male infertility represents a complex clinical condition requiring an accurate multilevel assessment, in which machine learning technology, combining large data series in non-linear and highly interactive ways, could be innovatively appli...

Sperm morphology, as an indicator of fertility, is a critical tool in semen analysis. In this study, a smartphone-based hybrid system that fully automates the sperm morphological analysis is introduced with the aim of eliminating unwanted human facto...
A 5-year-old male Beagle dog produced ejaculates with a high percentage of spermatozoa with abnormal morphology, especially sperm tail defects. Although libido and semen volume were normal, ejaculates showed asthenospermia, oligozoospermia, and terat...
