Timelapse Imaging

Timelapse imaging is a groundbreaking technology in in vitro fertilization (IVF) that allows for the continuous, detailed observation of embryo development. This technique captures images of embryos at regular intervals, providing a comprehensive view of their growth patterns without disrupting their environment.

Timelapse imaging involves the use of specialized incubators equipped with high-resolution cameras that take periodic snapshots of developing embryos. These images are compiled into a time-lapse video, enabling embryologists to observe the entire development process from fertilization to the point of transfer.

Timelapse imaging is particularly useful in the following scenarios:

• Previous IVF Failures: For patients who have experienced unsuccessful IVF cycles, time-lapse imaging can offer deeper insights into embryo development.
• Advanced Maternal Age: Women of advanced maternal age may benefit from the enhanced monitoring capabilities of time-lapse imaging to ensure the best embryo selection.
• Unexplained Infertility: When the cause of infertility is unclear, time-lapse imaging can help uncover subtle issues in embryo development that might otherwise go unnoticed.
