IMSI: A Deeper Look at Sperm Selection for ICSI

IMSI stands for Intracytoplasmic Morphologically Selected Sperm Injection. It's an advanced technique used within ICSI (Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection) that examines sperm under ultra-high magnification (6,000x) to assess its "morphology" - shape and structure.

What's the advantage?

This high magnification helps embryologists identify even tiny abnormalities in the sperm head that might go unnoticed in traditional ICSI. Potentially, selecting sperm with better morphology could lead to improved chances of implantation and pregnancy.
