  1. What does a time-lapse incubator like the EmbryoScope do?
    • Freezes embryos instantly
    • Photographs embryos every few minutes without removing them
    • Edits embryo DNA
    • Transfers embryos into the uterus
  2. What did the 2024 Nature Medicine randomised trial of iDAScore find?
    • AI doubled live-birth rates
    • AI was banned from clinics
    • AI was not shown to be non-inferior on clinical pregnancy but greatly cut assessment time
    • AI made no difference to embryologists' workload
  3. Why can embryo ranking not raise a patient's overall chance if all embryos will eventually be transferred?
    • Ranking only changes the order embryos are used, not their quality
    • Ranking damages embryos
    • Ranking is only used for frozen embryos
    • Ranking increases the number of embryos
  4. Why are AI embryo models affected by selection bias?
    • They use too many images
    • Only transferred embryos, already chosen as best-looking, have outcome labels
    • All embryos have outcome labels
    • Models ignore implantation data
  5. What range of AUC values do implantation prediction models typically report?
    • 0.99 to 1.0
    • 0.95 to 0.99
    • Exactly 0.5 always
    • Often around 0.6 to 0.7
  6. Which grading system do embryologists commonly use to assess blastocysts by eye?
    • Gardner grading
    • Apgar score
    • Gleason score
    • Glasgow Coma Scale
  7. Why are labels cleanest from single-embryo transfers?
    • They are cheaper
    • They always result in pregnancy
    • The outcome can be linked to one specific embryo
    • They use no time-lapse imaging
  8. How have genetics societies generally viewed polygenic embryo screening?
    • As proven and recommended for all patients
    • As widely criticised and unproven
    • As required by law
    • As identical to time-lapse imaging
