The authors regret that there are some errors in the published original article.
Listed below are the corrections.
The sentence:
Overall, compared to using the invasive AIF, K1 values were 40% higher when using IDIF (based on slope, Figure 2.a-b).
Should have read as:
Overall, compared to using the invasive AIF, K1 values were 190% higher when using IDIF (based on slope, Figure 2.a-b).
The sentence:
The other 2TCM microparameters were also higher when using IDIF (10%-200% range, Supplementary Figure 3).
Should have read as:
The other 2TCM microparameters were higher (k4), lower (k3) and same (k2) when using IDIF (Supplementary Figure 3).
The sentence:
VT and BPTC were 40% (based on slope, Figure 2. c & d) and 60% lower respectively (based on slope, Figure 2.e & f) when using IDIF compared to AIF.
Should have read as:
VT and BPTC were 60% (based on slope, Figure 2. c & d) and 90% lower respectively (based on slope, Figure 2.e & f) when using IDIF compared to AIF.
The sentence:
When analysing the comparison between AIF and IDIF in naive and MI cohorts on their own, a similar pattern is evident although the fitting is poorer within those with MI (Figure 3).
Should have read as:
When analysing the comparison between AIF and IDIF in naive and MI cohorts on their own, a similar pattern is evident although the fitting is generally poorer within those with MI (Figure 3).
The sentence:
A truncation greater than 20 min results in lower K1 ICC values, and therefore stability, with the global heart VOI particularly impacted (Figure 4.a).
Should have read as:
K1 ICC values were unaffected by truncations in scan duration (Figure 4.a).
The sentence:
The VT ICC demonstrates stability in brain outcomes for different truncations and an improvement of heart outcomes (Figure 4.b.).
Should read as:
The VT ICC demonstrates greater stability in brain outcomes for different truncations compared with heart outcomes (Figure 4.b.).
The sentence:
The improved brain performance improvement versus the heart maybe due to the decreasing effect of the apparent quasi-irreversible kinetics on 2TCM (Figure 1).
Should read as:
The improved brain performance versus the heart maybe due to the decreasing effect of the apparent quasi-irreversible kinetics on 2TCM (Figure 1).
The sentence:
When assessing the ICC of truncated data within the naive and MI cohorts separately, K1, VT and BPTC ICC results are overall higher in the diseased cohort (Supplementary Figure 4).
Should read as:
When assessing the ICC of truncated data within the naive and MI cohorts separately, K1, VT and BPTC ICC results are overall comparable (Supplementary Figure 4).
The sentence:
Furthermore, a truncation of greater than 20 min impacts the quantitative accuracy of the outcomes as is evidenced by the deteriorating R^2^ values and increasing measurement bias (regression line slope, Fig. 5).
Should read as:
Furthermore, a truncation of greater than 20 min impacts the quantitative accuracy of VT and BPTC, but not K1, as is evidenced by the deteriorating R^2^ values and increasing measurement bias (regression line slope, Figure 5).
Some of the figures are also incorrect.
