Fig. 4: PA spatial distribution validation of mLVs.

a, b PA image showing the spatial distribution of mLVs and CVs (scale bar, 1 mm). c, d IF images displaying the spatial distribution of mLVs and CVs (scale bar, 1 mm). e, f Merged PA and IF images. g Various images selected for the specific regions, including the near TS region and SSS region (scale bar, 1 mm). h Ratio of CVs area to mLVs area. i, j Merged images of the mLVs and CV divided into three regions, along with co-localization analysis. k MR images of the coronal plane. l Maximum amplitude projection in the X-Z cross-sectional direction for 10 consecutive B-scan images near y1, y2, and y3 regions, respectively
