Human frozen-thawed blastocyst morphokinetics observed using time-lapse cinematography reflects the number of trophectoderm cells.

Recent studies reported morphokinetic indices for optimal selection of embryos in assisted reproductive technology (ART). The morphokinetics in blastocyst stage include the collapse and re-expansion rates after thawing. However, evaluation methods using these morphokinetics have not been established...
