Summary
An evaluation of published data from studies using incubators incorporating time-lapse imaging (TLI) in Assisted Reproduction Technology (ART) reveals none that are sufficiently robust to justify its routine use. Data were evaluated for evidence that the use of TLI incubators results in improved treatment outcomes, whether through theoretically improved culture conditions (resulting from uninterrupted culture) or through theoretically improved embryo selection (resulting from the use of algorithms developed from analysis of time-lapse images of developing embryos), compared with using conventional incubation and conventional embryo selection methods. No such evidence is currently available.
