Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection is also known as IMSI is another procedure used during the time of IVF. It enables the doctors to differentiate between the structure of the sperm and exclude the suspected variations. Doctors perform this procedure using a high magnification digital imaging microscope during the time of injecting into the egg.
ICSI is performed where doctors find severe male infertility. It is performed parallel to IVF for a better result. But sometimes the process fails. To enhance a positive outcome doctors use a digital high magnification sperm to improve the process of fertilization and embryo development. This procedure is used for couples with poor results in IVF with ICSI.
By using the digital high-magnification of sperm doctors can easily differentiate between normal and abnormal sperms. IMSI enables 6000 times magnification of sperms that will help to identify more accurately and exclude them during the process of fertilizing the egg. The structurally normal sperm is further used during the process of fertilization using the ICSI method. This technique helps to microinject most normal-looking sperms.
This technique is very helpful and ensures a better result than the traditional method of selecting sperms for fertilization. The traditional method assesses abnormalities at around 400 times magnification.
