Kyoto Collection of Human Embryo and Fetus is a valuable collection for human developmental research during pregnancy. Although serial sections contain huge morphological information, specimens are sliced and destroyed. Three-dimensional imaging in non-destructive way are developed and now applied to the human specimens. Now, morphological changes of embryo and fetus are analyzed by geometric morphometrics as well as conservative morphometric technique using obtained images.
