Intracytoplasmic Morphologically Selected<br />

Sperm Injection<br />

Letter to <strong>New</strong> Engl<strong>and</strong> Journal of Medic<strong>in</strong>e:<br />

“Selection of spermatozoa with normal nuclei to improve the pregnancy rate with<br />

<strong>in</strong>tracytoplasmic sperm <strong>in</strong>jection”<br />

Bartoov et al. al (2001)<br />

Introduction of a new concept to observe spermatozoa called ‘motile‐sperm organelle‐<br />

morphology exam<strong>in</strong>ation’ (MSOME) <strong>and</strong> to evaluate the f<strong>in</strong>e nuclear morphology of motile<br />

spermatozoa <strong>in</strong> real time.<br />

Intracytoplasmic Morphologically Selected Sperm Injection<br />

(IMSI)<br />

IMSI: Sperm preparation<br />

‐ Use of a density gradient <strong>in</strong> the preparation prior to selection<br />

‐ Use of PVP (different concentration)<br />

‐low temperature (accord<strong>in</strong>g to sperm motility)<br />

Bartoov et al., 2002<br />

‐glass‐bottom dish over the top of an 100x objective lens covered by a droplet of<br />

immersion oil<br />

‐ Exam<strong>in</strong>ation of <strong>in</strong>dividual spermatozoa at high<br />

magnification by the <strong>in</strong>verted microscope<br />

equipped with high‐power nomarski optics<br />

enhanced by digital imag<strong>in</strong>g<br />
