“Can AI help improve In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) success rates?
Advancing IVF with Deep Learning: Semantic Segmentation of Human Blastocyst Images
In vitro fertilization (IVF) has brought hope to millions of families worldwide, yet success rates remain lower than expected. One key challenge lies in the accurate assessment of embryo quality, a task traditionally performed through subjective visual evaluation by embryologists.
Our latest research explores how deep learning can revolutionize this process by segmenting key blastocyst components: Inner Cell Mass (ICM), Trophectoderm (TE) and Zona Pellucida (ZP). These structures are critical indicators of embryo viability and implantation potential.
Our models demonstrated strong performance on the available blastocyst data, paving the way for automated, objective, and scalable embryoquality assessment. This work has the potential to enhance IVF success rates, reduce human error in embryo selection, and support embryologists with AI-powered decision tools.
