Internal quality control of semen analysis
TL;DR: In this paper, the reproducibility of assessment of sperm concentration, motility, and morphology was obtained for the same sample measured by different technicians (between or intertechnician variation) and for different samples assessed by each technician with time (within or intratechnician variation).

TL;DR: There is a positive and significant correlation between FERTECH evaluation and manual assessment of sperm morphology and the reproducibility of the computerized method and the ability to distinguish between fertile and subfertile groups using those criteria are good.

Automated sperm morphometry and morphology analysis of canine semen by the Hamilton-Thorne analyser
TL;DR: Dilution of the semen samples to approximately 50 x 10(6) spermatozoa/ml and an objective lens magnification of 60x, analysing at least 100 spermatozosa, are the technical settings proposed to obtain reliable and objective sperm morphometric measurements by the HTR 12.1 Metrix in canine.

The role of sperm morphology in assisted reproduction
Thinus F. Kruger,Kevin Coetzee +1 more
TL;DR: The evaluation of sperm morphology by strict criteria is a simple, cost-effective method and can be used to guide the clinician and scientist on a day-to-day basis to make sound clinical decisions.

Computer assisted morphometric analysis of ram sperm heads: Evaluation of different fixative techniques
TL;DR: The results showed significant differences in sperm head dimensions between the 4 fixation techniques, with the lowest values for all parameters corresponding to the SUZA fixative followed by glutaraldehyde, methanol, and finally ethanol-ether.

Statistical methods for assessing agreement between two methods of clinical measurement.
TL;DR: An alternative approach, based on graphical techniques and simple calculations, is described, together with the relation between this analysis and the assessment of repeatability.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors conducted a prospective study in women with bilateral tubal damage to determine whether there is a prognostic value in the percentage normal sperm morphologic features in a human in vitro fertilization (IVF) program.

TL;DR: By evaluating sperm morphology with the proposed strict criteria, its predictive value in in vitro fertilization is enhanced.
