  • 收集专家标注的胚胎图像与自然语言描述,包含发育阶段和形态特征。
  • 支持视觉语言模型训练,实现高精度胚胎描述生成与证据提取。
  • 适合研究可解释AI、医患沟通或辅助生殖技术的科研人员使用。

胚胎选择是体外受精中的关键步骤,通常依赖临床胚胎学家的形态学评估。尽管人工智能在自动化胚胎排序或分级方面展现出潜力,但其整体应用仍受限于对定制化临床数据的适应性、对延时培养箱的依赖以及缺乏可解释性。现代知情患者常质疑专家决策,尤其在治疗失败时。因此,基于证据的决策解释有助于实现透明决策与尊重患者的沟通。为此,我们提出一个由专家标注的胚胎图像数据集,包含对应自然语言描述,涵盖胚胎细胞周期、发育阶段及形态特征。该数据集可微调现代基础视觉-语言模型,实现持续学习与高精度描述生成。生成的胚胎描述可用于自动从文献中提取科学证据,支持有依据的决策与透明患者沟通。本数据集推动基于语言的可解释、透明自动化胚胎评估研究,有望长期提升决策质量与患者预后。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Embryo selection is one of multiple crucial steps in in-vitro fertilization, commonly based on morphological assessment by clinical embryologists. Although artificial intelligence methods have demonstrated their potential to support embryo selection by automated embryo ranking or grading methods, the overall impact of AI-based solutions is still limited. This is mainly due to the required adaptation of automated solutions to custom clinical data, reliance on time lapse incubators and a lack of interpretability to understand AI reasoning. The modern, informed patient is questioning expert decisions, particularly if the treatment is not successful. Thus, evidence-based decision justification in tasks like embryo selection would support transparent decision making and respectful patient communication. To support this aim, we hereby present an expert-annotated dataset consisting of embryo images and corresponding morphological description using natural language. The description contains relevant information on embryonic cell cycle, developmental stage and morphological features. This dataset enables the finetuning of modern foundational vision-language models to learn and improve over time with high accuracy. Predicted embryo descriptions can then be leveraged to automatically extract scientific evidence from literature, facilitating well-informed, evidence-based decision-making and transparent communication with patients. Our proposed dataset supports research in language-based, interpretable, and transparent automated embryo assessment and has the potential to enhance the decision-making process and improve patient outcomes significantly over time.
