Medical Technology Progress of IVF
IVF technology, namely assisted reproduction technology, has made a breakthrough that has long been ignored by the world. Through in vitro fertilization (IVF) and transplantation (ET) technology, many infertile couples have successfully realized their dream of becoming parents. With the continuous progress of science and technology, the medical technology of IVF is also evolving and improving, providing hope for more couples.
Progress in embryo screening technology
Embryo screening technology is an important part of IVF medical technology. By screening the genetic information of embryos, some genetic diseases and chromosomal abnormalities can be eliminated, and healthy embryos can be selected for transplantation to improve the success rate of transplantation. At present, embryo screening technology has achieved very high accuracy and accuracy, and has been widely used. Some advanced medical institutions have also combined artificial intelligence and big data analysis technology to further improve the efficiency and accuracy of screening.
At the same time, new embryo screening technologies are also emerging. Haplotype chromosome analysis (PGT-M) can detect specific gene mutations for screening genetic diseases. Large scale parallel sequencing (PGT-A) can detect chromosome number abnormalities in embryos, reduce the transfer of embryos with chromosome abnormalities, and reduce the risk of early abortion. The application of these new technologies has greatly increased the possibility of IVF success.
In addition, the development of preimplantation genetic diagnosis technology (PGXS) also provides a new idea for the medical technology of IVF. PGXS refers to the whole genome sequencing of embryos before embryo transfer to assess the health of embryos and potential genetic disease risks. This technology is expected to improve the success rate of transplantation and bring more opportunities for couples through the evaluation of the whole genome level of embryos.
Improvement of frozen embryo technology
Frozen embryo technology is an important progress in IVF medical technology. Cryopreservation of redundant embryos can not only reduce the risk of multiple pregnancy, but also improve the success rate of IVF.
With the improvement of frozen embryo technology, the survival rate of frozen embryos has been greatly improved. New freezing technologies, such as rapid freezing and Slow Freezing, can better protect the integrity of embryos and avoid the adverse effects of freezing on embryo development. In addition, the quality monitoring and evaluation of frozen embryos during storage have also been improved, which can better screen high-quality embryos for transplantation.
In addition, the improvement of frozen embryo technology also includes the time selection of frozen embryo transfer and the optimization of treatment scheme. These improvements make frozen embryo technology more important and common in IVF treatment.
New progress of monitoring technology
The monitoring technology in IVF process has also made new progress, which can better track and evaluate the key indicators in the whole process. Embryo monitoring technology uses a variety of methods, such as embedded sensors, machine learning and imaging, to track the development and health status of embryos in real time.
Among them, embedded sensor technology is a new method of embryo monitoring. By adding micro sensors to the culture dish, important indicators such as embryo respiration, acid-base balance and energy metabolism can be monitored in real time. This technology can not only provide more accurate embryo evaluation results, but also help doctors to develop more personalized treatment plans.
In addition, machine learning and imaging technology have also brought new breakthroughs for embryo monitoring. Through the analysis of a large number of embryo images and data, machine learning can predict the development of embryos and the success rate of transplantation. Imaging technology can provide three-dimensional high-definition images, and assess the quality and development status of embryos through image analysis.
Follow up support and auxiliary technology
The follow-up guarantee and auxiliary technology after the success of IVF are also constantly improving and perfecting. The progress of pregnancy monitoring technology makes the monitoring of embryo health more refined, which can detect and deal with some potential problems earlier.
In addition, the development of fetal gene detection technology provides more possibilities for early screening and diagnosis. By analyzing the free DNA of the fetus in maternal blood and amniotic fluid, we can obtain the genetic information of the fetus non invasively, and find some common genetic diseases and chromosome abnormalities as early as possible.
In addition, the assistive technology of IVF is also improving. New auxiliary devices and technologies for embryo implantation, such as electric endometrial transplantation device and three-dimensional embryo culture technology, can improve the success rate of embryo implantation and pregnancy results.
Summary
The medical technology of IVF has made remarkable progress in embryo screening, frozen embryos, monitoring technology and follow-up security. The improvement of embryo screening technology has improved the accuracy and accuracy of selecting healthy embryos. The improvement of frozen embryo technology has reduced the risk of multiple pregnancy and increased the success rate of IVF. The new progress of monitoring technology makes the assessment of embryonic development more accurate. The follow-up guarantee and the improvement of auxiliary technology provide better support for the whole process of IVF. These advances have provided more opportunities for infertile couples to realize their dream of becoming parents.
