Several muscles could not be segmented as the iodine staining was not homogenous and muscle boundaries could not be reliably identified for the whole muscles, thus potentially conflating their volumes with other muscles (e.g. ADD2 and PIFE3 or FTE and FTI2). These muscles were therefore excluded from the dataset. Other muscles were not fully captured in the scan window (e.g. CFB, CFL, PIFE1-3 and PIFI1-2) and could therefore not be fully segmented.
