Pre-clinical and Clinical Evidence Associated with Infertility in Men: Future Aspects

Abstract

Abstract: Infertility in men is more than 50% of cases and the real cause of infertility cannot be determined by various factors and lack of technology. Infertility in males is a rising health concern across the globe affecting around 7 percent of the total male population in the world. Various risk factors are associated with several diseases’ outcomes and those involved have been shown to cause infertility with male background due to their prone habits. Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) has evolved so far as treatment options for infertility by manipulating sperm or egg for a woman to conceive being the only hope of bearing a biological child. Ancient medical techniques could be enhanced using augmented reality with additional metrics to include orientation, 3D location of speculations, and proximity to adjacent structures. With image-guided surgery, the need to integrate medical imaging with surgery has promoted the research for new visualization modalities based on AR, as surgical guidance or tool for surgical planning/diagnosis. Moreover, AR has its advantage in high-quality data curation which establishes the fact that both AI and AR can be associated together and make it useful in the imaging of infertile men. At present, research focuses on improving sperm retrieval and assisted conception methods and perhaps in the future less invasive procedures like AI and AR may be an option that provide Insight into data curation and enhanced intelligence in the Imaging of cells.
