Figure 1 (A) Gardner scoring versus a scatter plot of the actual cell numbers of embryos. Numbers in circles are expansion rate. Morphology rates (A, B, and C) are outside of the horizontal axis. (B) Correlation of log2(BQS) and log10 of the blastocyst cell number (P<.0001). BQS = blastocyst quality scoring.
