IMSI Intra Cytoplasmic Morphologically Selected Sperm Injection

IMSI (Intra Cytoplasmic Morphologically Selected Sperm Injection)

IMSI is an advanced sperm selection technique used during IVF treatment. Using a highly specialized microscope with magnification of up to 7,000x, embryologists can examine sperm in greater detail
and select those with the most normal morphology for fertilization.

The technique is particularly beneficial for couples facing severe male factor infertility, poor sperm morphology, recurrent IVF or ICSI failure, and unexplained infertility. By selecting sperm with better structural characteristics, IMSI may help improve fertilization outcomes and embryo quality in selected cases

What is IMSI treatment?

IMSI is an advanced sperm selection technique used before fertilization during an IVF cycle.

How is IMSI different from ICSI?

IMSI uses significantly higher magnification to select sperm with better morphology before fertilization.

Who should consider IMSI?

Couples with poor sperm morphology, recurrent IVF failure, recurrent miscarriage, or severe male infertility may benefit from IMSI.

Is IMSI safe?

Yes. IMSI is a laboratory-based sperm selection technique that is considered safe and effective.
