Researchers have developed Blasto-Net, a novel multi-task deep learning model designed for comprehensive blastocyst analysis in in vitro fertilization (IVF). This model simultaneously performs segmentation of key compartments (ZP, TE, ICM), morphological grading, and implantation outcome prediction. Blasto-Net utilizes an EfficientNet-B3 encoder with a U-Net decoder, enhanced by attention modules to capture both semantic and boundary information, and employs specialized heads and a composite loss function to handle distinct compartment topologies. Evaluated on a public dataset, the model achieved high Dice scores for segmentation and an F1-score of 80.0% for implantation prediction, demonstrating its potential for accurate, interpretable, and efficient clinical decision support in IVF.
