Phase-Shift, Targeted Nanoparticles for Ultrasound Molecular Imaging by Low Intensity Focused Ultrasound Irradiation [Corrigendum]

Abstract

Li M, Luo H, Zhang W, et al. Int J Nanomedicine. 2018;13:3907–3920. The authors have advised that they covered up some larger-sized particles and impurities to enhance the aesthetic of the image shown for Figure 4A, on page 3913. The authors also removed some impurities and enhanced certain aspects of the image shown for Figure 4B. These two images were used to display the general appearance and shapes of the nanoparticles the authors had successfully prepared in the study. The editor determined that while the images had been altered it did not affect the conclusions of the study. The authors wish to apologise for these errors. The correct Figure 4 is shown below.
