Prediction of in-vitro fertilization outcome by ultrasound strain analysis and machine learning: A multi-center study

We developed a machine learning framework to improve the prediction of IVF outcome based on multi-center TVUS recordings. Our SVM model identified significant uterine motion features and demonstrated reliable and generalizable classification performance. This work can provide useful means to support clinicians for clinical decision-making prior to ET and possibly enhance IVF success rates.

Abstract

We developed a machine learning framework to improve the prediction of IVF outcome based on multi-center TVUS recordings. Our SVM model identified significant uterine motion features and demonstrated reliable and generalizable classification performance. This work can provide useful means to support clinicians for clinical decision-making prior to ET and possibly enhance IVF success rates.
