Intracytoplasmic Morphologically Selected Injection (IMSI)
IMSI can improve fertilization success rates but the quality of the eggs and the age of the woman can all affect how effective IMSI is. To decide if this is a good option, couples should speak with their doctor about its potential advantages and hazards.

A specific method of in vitro fertilization (IVF) called intracytoplasmic morphologically selected sperm injection (IMSI) includes choosing the best sperm to inject into the egg.
During IMSI, sperm are examined under a powerful microscope with a 6,000-fold magnification capability. This makes it possible for medical professionals to see the sperm up close and spot any abnormalities or flaws that a regular microscope could miss. The best sperm are then picked for injection into the egg after being chosen based on their morphology (shape) and motility (movement).
By choosing the healthiest sperm, IMSI hopes to increase the likelihood of successful fertilization and embryo development.
Couples with poor sperm quality or those who have previously failed IVF rounds may find this to be especially helpful.
Intracytoplasmic sperm injection, often known as IMSI or ICSI, is a technique used to inject the chosen sperm into the egg during regular IVF treatments. A single sperm is directly injected into the egg during ICSI to fertilize it.
