Abstract:
Over the last 50 years, embryo culture techniques for in vitro fertilization (IVF) have continued to evolve. The latest evolution raises a controversial question—whether culturing embryos in systems which allow for undisturbed time-lapse monitoring (TLM) improve our fundamental understanding of embryogenesis, and whether that understanding can reliably translate into improved clinical outcomes (1).

Thank you for this fantastic review of time-lapse imaging. Amazingly balanced, critical, insightful and succinct! I know we need more data, but what is the authors gut feeling on the future of time-lapse imaging? Mainstream and here to stay or another modality that falls to the curb?
Thanks, Micah! It definitely adds information. Whether a lab adds that information may depend on whether it costs $1,000, $10,000 or $100,000.
