Image analysis was applied to photographs of sperm samples obtained using a scanning electron microscope. This technique is too time-consuming for routine use but could, if automated, provide an objective assessment of sperm morphology. In order to test the technique, sperm samples were evaluated from four groups of men: fertile and infertile smokers and fertile and infertile nonsmokers. There was a significant increase in the numbers of abnormalities in samples from infertile men. There was no association between the numbers of abnormal sperm and cigarette smoking.
图像分析应用于使用扫描电子显微镜获得的精子样本照片。这项技术用于常规检测过于耗时，但如果实现自动化，可对精子形态进行客观评估。为测试该技术，对四组男性的精子样本进行了评估：可育和不育的吸烟者以及可育和不育的非吸烟者。不育男性样本中的异常数量显著增加。异常精子数量与吸烟之间没有关联。
