Abstract	Since the introduction of intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), the importance of sperm morphology assessment has been given attention in the assisted reproduction field. It is important to select a good-quality motile spermatozoon for giving a better embryo quality in assisted reproduction technique (ART). In ICSI, sperm morphology evaluation is limited due to its low magnification. However, by using intracytoplasmic morphologically selected sperm injection (IMSI), the selection is done at high magnification of ×6600 using motile sperm organelle morphology examination (MSOME). Therefore, it becomes possible to select a good quality spermatozoon with an intact nucleus that may enhance the pregnancy outcomes. Although all patients can benefit from IMSI, it is important to standardize which techniques (IMSI or ICSI) could be used or which group of patients benefit from IMSI to maximize the efficiency of this advanced technology.
