Abstract: One of the most extensively used methods in human assisted reproductive technology（ART） is in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer（IVF-ET）. Due to the multiple embryos obtained per ovulation induction treatment，how to select the most potential embryo for clinical transfer in order to guarantee clinical pregnancy rate and simultaneously reduce the number of transferred embryos remains the hotspot in ART area. At present，embryo evaluation is based on morphology，which is static. The newly developed time-lapse technology is available to monitor the whole development process so as to more precisely evaluate the embryo quality. And its advantages are gradually manifested.
