Abstract Background Previous studies looked into the connections between pregnancy and Zona Pellucida (ZP) thickness Thickness Variation (ZPTV), as well embryo’s radius, circumference, perimeter global symmetry. However, no research has linked embryo implantation to percentage of ZP thinning, reduction in ooplasm volume, increase perivitelline space (PVS) volume. Our objective is correlate volume shrinkage PVS implantation. These data will be used for selection it can put a software that...
