A major challenge in clinical In-Vitro Fertilization (IVF) is selecting the highest quality embryo to transfer to the patient in the hopes of achieving a pregnancy. Time-lapse microscopy provides clinicians with a wealth of information for…

In conventional clinical in-vitro fertilization practices embryos are transferred either at the cleavage or blastocyst stages of development. Cleavage stage transfers, particularly, are beneficial for patients with relatively poor prognosis…

The selection of the optimal embryo for transfer is a critical yet challenging step in in vitro fertilization (IVF), primarily due to its reliance on the manual inspection of extensive time-lapse imaging data. A key obstacle in this process…
