AIVF’s Post

In partnership with Presagen, we developed a non-invasive, image-based AI algorithm for combined morphological and genetic assessment of embryo quality in the IVF lab. Learn more about how we are leading the way with the use of these AI applications >> bit.ly/4coqgxi #ReproductiveMedicine #IVFLab #IVF #Embryology

When working with patients who are trying to conceive, we understand how challenging it can be to provide answers and communicate with transparency as mentioned in our recent blog article. "Furthermore, the complex grading system is not easily understood by patients, who want to know the quality of their #embryo for transfer now and in the future." To help your team of experienced #embryologists thoroughly analyze candidate embryos against an organization-wide database of other embryos, our EMA (AI) platform can help. EMA's #AI-automated embryo evaluation, quality scoring and annotations are fully automated replacing manual steps, such as; visual inspections, morphokinetic, and morphological annotations, and manual data recording and transfer into the Electronic Medical Record (EMR) systems. With this integrated system, all embryo annotations and scores are directly transferred from the time-lapse incubator to the EMR through the EMA platform. This eliminates the need for redundant data recording and transfer between multiple operating systems within the IVF laboratory. This way, the patient can be sure that the score that was provided by EMA is reliable and follows the same steps that were performed by the embryologist, and in the best way possible.

In a new Countercurrent Contribution, RBMO RTS Section Editor, Guido Pennings, argues that embryo-like structures’ time in the spotlight should be dimmed, and  research efforts should be refocused on natural embryos. Pennings addresses two misconceptions that he feels give ELS their prominence: the belief that there is a shortage of research embryos, and the belief that research on ELS will make research on natural embryos redundant. ‘Instead of putting so much effort into developing inferior material such as embryo-like structures’, Pennings says, ‘it would be much more efficient and beneficial to use the material that is available in IVF clinics but is currently being wasted’.

Image of meiotic spindle in oocytes with polychromatic polarization microscope (https://lnkd.in/eRH4rR_9 ). Image was taken together with Zachary Swartz(MBL). Advantages compared to other commercially available microscopes for IVF: 1.     High color contrast at any spindle orientation. 2.     No white balance correction by digital camera to suppress a magenta background is required.  #IVF #oocyte #meiotic_spindle #microscope #polarization #birefringence #labelfree #polarizing_microscope #polscope

Deciphering your Day 3 embryo grades Different clinics have different ways of reporting embryo grading. A common method is to provide a grade like this for each embryo: 8c 3/2 This means "8 cells", "grade 3 fragmentation" and "grade 2 symmetry". (Or for some clinics it might mean "8 cells", "grade 3 symmetry" and "grade 2 fragmentation".) Some clinics will combine/average out the grades for fragmentation and symmetry, providing just one number. And remember: the numbers might be the other way around for your particular clinic. That is, "1" could be good instead of bad. Oh and by the way, some clinics just prefer to tell you "good", "OK" and "a bit iffy" instead. Ask your clinic how they choose to do things.
