This concise, truncated version of Nagy, Varghese and Agarwal's
Practical Manual of In Vitro Fertilization
is comprised of select clinical chapters for a portable, affordable and up-to-date resource.
Clinical Embryology
covers a variety of topics, including:
- Sperm processing methods
- Embryo culture methods
- Insemination procedures
- Embryo evaluation
- Genetic testing of embryos
- Cryopreservation
- Embryo transfer
Also included are two new chapters on predicting embryo developmental potential and viability using automated time-lapse analysis (Eeva) and predicting embryo implantation potential using Embryoscope.T
Practical for both clinicians and researchers alike,
Clinical Embryology
brings together all of the need-to-know information about these important topics in reproductive medicine.
