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...
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...
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...
Sperm cell motility and morphology observed under the bright field microscopy are the only criteria for selecting a particular sperm cell during Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) procedure of Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART). Several fact...

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...
The sperm storage tubules located in the mucosal folds of the uterovaginal junction (UVJ) are the primary site of sperm storage in chicken hens after natural mating or artificial insemination (AI). The short-term sperm storage (24 h after mating or A...
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...
