Abstract
Objective
The diagnosis of male infertility, especially idiopathic, remains ineffective: there are no standard tests for assessing fertility. To solve this problem, the development of an integrated system based on microstructure waveguides and artificial intelligence is
proposed.
Design
Using spectral characteristics of seminal plasma and human ejaculate, obtained with
use of microstructure waveguides, to evaluate sperm quality by means of neural
networks
Setting
Public hospital; Scientific and Industrial Private Enterprise
Patients
345 samples of ejaculate and 209 sample of seminal plasma were obtained in which
the volume of ejaculate corresponded to the norm (WHO, 2010)
Interventions
None.
Main outcome measures
Spermogram (concentration, motility and morphology). The spectral characteristics
of samples of seminal plasma and human ejaculate, obtained using microstructure
waveguides
Results
According to the minimum reference values of ejaculate indicators, the samples of
ejaculate and seminal plasma were divided into 2 groups: “normal” and “pathology”.
The spectral characteristics of samples of seminal plasma and human ejaculate are
used as input parameters for constructing machine learning models. The neural
network showed 100% accuracy
Conclusion
Preliminary results obtained in this work, including the analysis of seminal plasma
and/or ejaculate of 350 men, show the high promise of the proposed method of semen
quality assessment which can be used in place of or in addition to standard
techniques.
