A Consort flowchart diagram of the study. B Schematic and photographic representation of MSOT imaging approach. The imaging probe emitting pulsed laser light was held onto the distal third of the upper arm, scanning the biceps muscle. C Localization of appropriate scan was performed on ultrasound B-mode images. These were used to post-process optoacoustic spectral information.
