A correction has been made to the section 2 Materials and methods, 2.4 PET/CT image processing and feature extraction, Paragraph 1:
“In this study, the lesion’s ROI delineation and feature extraction of PET/CT images were completed on LIFEx 7.4.0 (28).”

“Tumor regions within WSIs were manually delineated utilizing Qupath 0.5.1 (29) and the feature extraction were completed on CellProfiler 4.2.7 (30).”
“All patches underwent color normalization utilizing the Vahadane method (31) for subsequent processing.”
A correction has been made to the section 3 Results, 3.4 Pathomic features selection, Paragraph 1:
“However, differences in tumor cell morphology observed in histopathological images are not easily detected through manual inspection; instead, they could be distinguished using quantitative image features (32).”
A correction has been made to the section 4 Discussion, Paragraph 2:
“Previous studies have similarly reported that CEA was effective in predicting LNM in lung cancer patients (33).”
