Sperm-cell DNA fragmentation prediction using label-free quantitative phase imaging and deep learning.

Cytometry. Part A : the journal of the International Society for Analytical Cytology
In intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), a single sperm cell is selected and injected into an egg. The quality of the chosen sperm and specifically its DNA fragmentation have a significant effect on the fertilization success rate. However, there i...

Automated rare sperm identification from low-magnification microscopy images of dissociated microsurgical testicular sperm extraction samples using deep learning.

Fertility and sterility
OBJECTIVE: To develop a machine learning algorithm to detect rare human sperm in semen and microsurgical testicular sperm extraction (microTESE) samples using bright-field (BF) microscopy for nonobstructive azoospermia patients.

TOD-CNN: An effective convolutional neural network for tiny object detection in sperm videos.

Computers in biology and medicine
The detection of tiny objects in microscopic videos is a problematic point, especially in large-scale experiments. For tiny objects (such as sperms) in microscopic videos, current detection methods face challenges in fuzzy, irregular, and precise pos...

Reproductive characteristics of the giant gurami sago strain ( Lacepède, 1801): basic knowledge for a future hatchery development strategy.

F1000Research
The giant gourami sago strain ( Lacepède) has been approved in 2018 as a candidate for freshwater aquaculture in Indonesia. However, information on the species' reproduction is minimal. This study analyzed the reproductive characteristics of the go...

Multi-model CNN fusion for sperm morphology analysis.

Computers in biology and medicine
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...

Does artificial intelligence have a role in the IVF clinic?

Reproduction & fertility
The success of IVF has remained stagnant for a decade. The focus of a great deal of research is to improve on the current ~30% success rate of IVF. Artificial intelligence (AI), or machines that mimic human intelligence, has been gaining traction for...

Impact of transfer learning for human sperm segmentation using deep learning.

Computers in biology and medicine
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...

DeepSperm: A robust and real-time bull sperm-cell detection in densely populated semen videos.

Computer methods and programs in biomedicine
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Object detection is a primary research interest in computer vision. Sperm-cell detection in a densely populated bull semen microscopic observation video presents challenges that are more difficult than those presented by oth...

Adaptive adversarial neural networks for the analysis of lossy and domain-shifted datasets of medical images.

Nature biomedical engineering
In machine learning for image-based medical diagnostics, supervised convolutional neural networks are typically trained with large and expertly annotated datasets obtained using high-resolution imaging systems. Moreover, the network's performance can...

Can methods of artificial intelligence aid in optimizing patient selection in patients undergoing intrauterine inseminations?

Journal of assisted reproduction and genetics
PURPOSE: AI and its machine learning algorithms have proven useful in several fields of medicine, including medically assisted reproduction. The purpose of the study was to construct several predictive models based on clinical data and select the bes...
