Guided Annotation - daily workflow
Document and Ref: Guided Annotation v2.0: daily workflow, Vitrolife, v5, July 2021. This technote is about the Guided Annotation tool, which is designed to support the busy workdays in the laboratory. The tool guides you from variable to the next in an annotation strategy and by automatically forwarding the embryo images to estimated timings of events. Guided Annotation in synergy with KIDScore models optimally supports your consistent embryo assessment process.
Guided Annotation - setting up the tool
Document and Ref: Guided Annotation 2.0: setting up, Vitrolife, v5, July 2021. This technote describes how the Guided Annotation tool is set up in a completely customidable way to support the needs and strategies of your clinical workflow. This tool is designed to support the busy workdays in the laboratory and guides you from variable to the next in an annotation strategy and by automatically forwarding the embryo images to estimated timings of events. Guided Annotation in synergy with KIDScore models optimally supports your consistent embryo assessment process.
Technote Guidelines for blastocyst morphology grading with time-lapse
Document and Ref: This technote describes the grading of blastocyst morphology with the use of time-lapse technology. This facalitates a more thorough evaluation because the complete course of development can be considered. A comprehensive impression of the blastocyst can be used as the basis for grading morphology, which should be utilised when grading ICM and TE and is neccessary when using KIDScore D5.
