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.
