Summary

The objective of this study is to establish a hierarchical embryo selection process by using the time-lapse imaging (TLI), combining the embryo cleavage patterns and timing parameters.

Detailed description

The embryos of patients undergoing in vitro fertilization (IVF) treatment is cultured to blastocyst stage and observed by TLI. The association of embryo cleavage patterns/timing parameters and good-quality blastocyst rates are evaluated by logistic regression and to establish a hierarchical embryo selection. The value of the selection process is assess by single embryo transfer (SET) on Day 3.

Conditions

• Embryo

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	time-lapse imaging	Embryos are observed using time-lapse imaging (Primo Vision®). It is an incubator with a compact, sealed, and digitally inverted camera unit which can automatically acquire images.The system can record the actual developmental stage of the embryos, all the recorded images can be saved to be analyzed later using a special software program.
