Inner Cell Mass and Trophectoderm Segmentation in Human Blastocyst Images using Deep Neural Network [PDF]
IEEE 13th International Conference on Nano/Molecular Medicine &
Engineering (NANOMED), Gwangju, Korea (South), 2019, pp. 214-219, 2020 Embryo quality assessment based on morphological attributes is important for achieving higher pregnancy rates from in vitro fertilization (IVF). The accurate segmentation of the embryo's inner cell mass (ICM) and trophectoderm epithelium (TE) is important, as these parameters can help to predict the embryo viability and live birth potential.

Hyaluronan and Hyaluronidase, which is better for embryo development? [PDF]
, 2016 Our aim was to examine size-specific effects of Hyaluronan (HA) on preimplantation embryo development. We investigated the effects of Hyalovet (HA, 500–750 kDa; the size produced by HA synthase-3, which is abundant in the oviduct), or HA treated with ...

Robust and generalizable embryo selection based on artificial intelligence and time-lapse image sequences [PDF]
, 2021 Assessing and selecting the most viable embryos for transfer is an essential part of in vitro fertilization (IVF). In recent years, several approaches have been made to improve and automate the procedure using artificial intelligence (AI) and deep learning.
