Scientific Abstract
New non-invasive imaging biomarkers for childhood muscular diseases are not yet established. Using multispectral optoacoustic tomography (MSOT), we were already able to detect collagen as a potential biomarker for disease progression monitoring of patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy. In this experimentell study, we will investigate, which specific optoacoustic spectrum could serve as a biomarker in patients with spinal muscular atrophy.
