• Abstract summary: Cleavage stage transfers are beneficial for patients with poor prognosis and at fertility centers in resource-limited settings. Time-lapse imaging systems have been proposed as possible solutions, but they are cost-prohibitive and require bulky and expensive hardware. Here, we report an automated system for classification and selection of human embryos at the cleavage stage using a trained CNN combined with a genetic algorithm.

• Abstract: 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 and at fertility centers in resource-limited settings where there is a higher chance of developmental failure in embryos in-vitro. However, one of the major limitations of embryo selections at the cleavage stage is the availability of very low number of manually discernable features to predict developmental outcomes. Although, time-lapse imaging systems have been proposed as possible solutions, they are cost-prohibitive and require bulky and expensive hardware, and labor-intensive. Advances in convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have been utilized to provide accurate classifications across many medical and non-medical object categories. Here, we report an automated system for classification and selection of human embryos at the cleavage stage using a trained CNN combined with a genetic algorithm. The system selected the cleavage stage embryo at 70 hours post insemination (hpi) that ultimately developed into top-quality blastocyst at 70 hpi with 64% accuracy, outperforming the abilities of embryologists in identifying embryos with the highest developmental potential. Such systems can have a significant impact on IVF procedures by empowering embryologists for accurate and consistent embryo assessment in both resource-poor and resource-rich settings.

  We investigate how a deep learning-based embryo selection model using only time-lapse image sequences performs across different patient ages and clinical conditions. The model was trained and evaluated based on a large dataset from 18 IVF centers consisting of 115,832 embryos. The fully automated iDAScore v1.0 model was shown to perform at least as good as a state-of-the-art manual embryo selection model.
