Deep learning classification method for boar sperm morphology analysis
We have established an integrated approach to rapidly collect and classify morphological defects and acrosome health status, without the use of manual counting or biomarker labeling. Our study underscores the potential of artificial intelligence in semen diagnostics, reducing technician variability, streamlining assays, and facilitating the development of additional label-free detection methods. This innovative approach addresses the barriers hindering biomarker adoption in semen analysis, offering a promising avenue for enhancing reproductive health assessments.
