期是否偏移,找出個人化的最佳胚胎植入時間點,
檢測方法為採樣著床窗期子宮內膜,利用次世代
基因定序 (NGS) 分析超過 248 個與子宮內膜容受
性相關的基因,分析的結果會以 receptive, pre-
receptive 和 post-receptive 呈現,真正的植入週
期再根據報告調整,精準地植入胚胎。
新一代的子宮內膜容受性檢測(MicroRNA-
based Endometrial Receptivity Analysis,
MIRA)是分析與子宮內膜容受性相關的 miRNA,
找出最適當的胚胎植入時間點。無論是 ERA 或
MIRA,其臨床的效益目前仍不清楚,子宮內膜容
受性檢測對試管嬰兒療程活產率是否有助益仍需
更多的研究。

第 4 代 試 管 嬰 兒 指 除 了 以 PGT-A 挑 選
euploid blastocyst 外,再以雲端 AI 演算法分析
縮時攝影胚胎即時影像系統,幫助胚胎師以更精
準及標準化的方式挑選出最優質的胚胎,提高單
次胚胎植入之活產率。AI 智慧選胚之演算法最早
於 2019 年由康乃爾大學的研究團隊發表於 NPJ
Digital Medicine 期刊,將胚胎發育的動態影像資
料結合 AI 深度學習模組,發展出雲端 AI 演算法,
其透過可以自主學習的算法,不斷升級評價體系,
確保能選出最有可能成功著床的胚胎。對於無法
或不適合接受 PGT-A 之不孕夫婦,可單獨使用
AI 智慧選胚,它不會對胚胎造成任何傷害,同時
可以選出優質胚胎,提高不孕婦女的活產率。
高雄榮總近期也引進了最新縮時攝影胚胎培
養系統,透過 AI 演算法智慧選胚再加上 PGT-A

結語
新的一代試管嬰兒出現,代表有劃時代的
技術突破 ( 如 ICSI 和 PGT-A),而新世紀的人
工生殖技術蓬勃發展,縮短了新一代試管嬰兒的
時程。人工智慧是未來的趨勢,相信能和人工
生殖技術擦出更多的火花;許多新技術如 non-
invasive preimplantation genetic testing for
aneuploidies (ni-PGT-A) 和 preimplantation
genetic test for polygenic disease (PGT-P) 等
仍在持續研究中,相信更新一代的試管嬰兒技術
即將在不久的未來產生。
