Time-Lapse Imaging

Time-lapse imaging is used to visualize the progress of the developing embryo by taking a photograph every ten minutes. Embryos selected with the help of time-lapse imaging technology have higher chances of forming a healthy pregnancy. Hence this technique is being adopted by most IVF clinics around the globe to ensure a healthy delivery and a singleton pregnancy.

Embryo development progresses very rapidly from embryonic stage to the next; hence the period between these stages is very crucial for assessment. With time-lapse imaging the rapid sequence of images taken allows the embryologist for better analysis of the changes and development happening. This helps them to assess which embryo has the best chances of implantation in the uterus.

The time-lapse technology is used to examine the development of the embryo with great frequency without disturbing or exposing the embryos to the outside air conditions.

We culture and monitor the progress of the embryo development in a totally safe & stable conditions with time-lapse imaging. The photographs & videos taken allow us to see the compositions of the embryo at every tiny stage of development.

The time-lapse technology is suggested for women who have had a poor reproductive record or failure at previous IVF cycles and those of an older reproductive age.
