Multi-wavelength photoacoustic analysis (MWPA) results for the human bone specimens. (a–c) PA Physio-chemical spectra (PAPCS) of the bone specimens with different BV/TV values. (d) Example MWPA curve fitting for human bone specimens with different BV/TVs. (e) Analysis of correlation between the relative collagen content as obtained via MWPA and the positive-stained area metric for the collagen content extracted from the histological images. (f) Analysis of the correlation between BV/TV and the positive-stained areas in the histological images.
