Morphokinetic analysis of pre-implantation embryos in assisted reproduction program

Abstract

Embryo selection is a vital part in assisted reproductive technology (ART) programs, with morphology-based grading systems having been widely used for decades. Time-lapse (TL) imaging system combined with embryo morphokinetics can offer a non-invasive means for improving embryo selection for uterine transfer. This approach opens a way to select the best viable embryo non-invasively for single embryo transfer (SET). Thus, implantation potential can be enhanced, while reducing the complications associated with multiple pregnancies.
