Erratum to evaluation of tubal patency based on peak injection pressure in four-dimensional hysterosalpingo-contrast sonography among infertile females: a preliminary study

Erratum to: Quant Imaging Med Surg 2024;14:3461-72.

In the May 2024 issue of Quantitative Imaging in Medicine and Surgery, the paper “Evaluation of tubal patency based on peak injection pressure in four-dimensional hysterosalpingo-contrast sonography among infertile females: a preliminary study” written by Dr. Wang et al. (1), was published with the following errors and should be corrected as below:

• In the Results section, “As expected, the volume of contrast agent used in patients with bilaterally nonpatent tubes was the smallest (22.7±6.3 mL), followed by those with unilaterally patent tubes (24.3±9.3 mL). Similar volumes of contrast agent were used in the bilaterally patent group (18.9±9.2 mL) and the unilaterally patent group.” should be corrected as “As expected, the volume of contrast agent used in patients with bilaterally nonpatent tubes was the smallest (18.9±9.2 mL). Similar volumes of contrast agent were used in the bilaterally patent group (22.7±6.3 mL) and the unilaterally patent group (24.3±9.3 mL).”
