Intracytoplasmic Morphologically Selected Sperm Injection (IMSI) & Physiologically Selected Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (PICSI)

IMSI treatment, PICSI fertility treatment,

Overview

IMSI treatment and PICSI fertility treatment are enhanced forms of ICSI that allow for even more precise sperm selection. IMSI involves using high-magnification microscopy to select sperm based on morphological health, while PICSI utilizes a binding test to select the most mature and high-quality sperm. These techniques improve fertilization and pregnancy rates, particularly in complex infertility cases.

Whom Are IMSI & PICSI For?

These techniques are recommended for:

  • Recurrent IVF failure
  • Male infertility issues with poor sperm morphology
  • Patients seeking higher precision in sperm selection

IMSI & PICSI Process

  • Enhanced Sperm Selection: Using either high magnification (IMSI) or a binding test (PICSI), the best sperm is identified.
  • ICSI Procedure: The selected sperm is injected into a mature egg, enhancing the fertilization process.
  • Embryo Monitoring and Transfer: Embryos are developed and monitored, then transferred to the uterus.

Success Rates and Advantages

These techniques significantly improve embryo quality and pregnancy success in couples with challenging infertility issues.
