CORRECTIONFigure 11 in “Echocardiographic insights into regional flow-function relationships in coronary artery disease”(Kaul S. J Nucl Cardiol 2005;12:216-26) was printed upside down. The corrected figure is reprinted below.
CORRECTIONThe tables in “Targeting the vulnerable plaque: The evolving role of nuclear imaging” (J Nucl Cardiol2005;12:234-46) were printed incorrectly. The corrected tables are as follows.
Figure 11. Data from a dog with a noncritical LAD stenosis at peakdobutamine dose, where MBF is increased. Left panels, Perfusiondefects (arrows) early (upper panel) and late (lower panel) aftermicrobubble destruction. The first shows the perfusion territory ofthe artery, and the second shows how much of it is filled withcollaterals. Right panels, The upper panel shows the radiolabeledmicrosphere–derived hypoperfused zone (arrows), whereas thelower panel shows the extent of abnormal WT (defined by chordsand arrows). Note the similarities between the MCE and micro-sphere data in the upper panels and the MCE and WT data in thelower panels. (Reprinted from reference 36 with permission.)
