RESEARCH QUESTION: Can artificial intelligence (AI) discriminate a blastocyst's cellular area from unedited time-lapse image files using semantic segmentation and a deep learning optimized U-Net architecture for use in selecting single blastocysts fo...
Despite recent improvements in microscope technologies, segmenting and tracking cells in three-dimensional time-lapse images (3D + T images) to extract their dynamic positions and activities remains a considerable bottleneck in the field. We develope...
Approaches to reliably predict the developmental potential of embryos and select suitable embryos for blastocyst culture are needed. The development of time-lapse monitoring (TLM) and artificial intelligence (AI) may help solve this problem. Here, we...

In vitro fertilization has been regarded as a forefront solution in treating infertility for over four decades, yet its effectiveness has remained relatively low. This could be attributed to the lack of advancements for the method of observing and se...
Biological experiments based on organ-on-chips (OOCs) exploit light Time-Lapse Microscopy (TLM) for a direct observation of cell movement that is an observable signature of underlying biological processes. A high spatial resolution is essential to ca...
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...
OBJECTIVE: To analyze the performance of an annotation-free embryo scoring system on the basis of deep learning for pregnancy prediction after single vitrified blastocyst transfer (SVBT) compared with the performance of other blastocyst grading syste...
MOTIVATION: Live cell segmentation is a crucial step in biological image analysis and is also a challenging task because time-lapse microscopy cell sequences usually exhibit complex spatial structures and complicated temporal behaviors. In recent yea...
