What is the difference between IVF (in vitro fertilisation) and ICSI (intra cytoplasmatic sperm injection)?

Both are artificial insemination treatments. During IVF the egg is fertilised naturally by the sperm cell. The ICSI method requires that the sperm cell be injected into the egg by a bio-engineer. The type of method used depends on the results of earlier treatments and the quality of the sperm cells when tested.
