Study finds that time-lapse imaging does not improve IVF outcomes, challenging its use in fertility treatment.
- A randomized controlled trial found that time-lapse imaging (TLI) does not improve in-vitro fertilization (IVF) outcomes.
- TLI involves taking continuous images of embryos as they grow during IVF treatment.
- The double-blind trial involving over 1,500 participants in the UK and Hong Kong showed similar live birth rates across different embryo selection methods.
- The study suggests that TLI may not be essential equipment in IVF labs, especially for those with limited resources.
- The findings indicate that investing in equipment with a direct impact on live birth rates may be more beneficial in IVF treatments.
