Correction addresses errors in imaging data affecting dynamic cardiac stiffness evaluations in pigs, suggesting the need for precision in measurements.
An error in the pulse repetition frequency (PRF) of the imaging sequence was discovered during subsequent analysis of the data.Acoustic verification of the original acquisition script confirmed the incorrect PRF.Although the relative comparisons in the study remain valid because the PRF error was the same across all conditions, the absolute wave speed values require correction with a factor 0.901 to ensure scientific accuracy.As the result, in Materials and methods section, under 'Shear wave elastography' subheading, "One SWE sequence consisted of 1.5 -2 s recording time in which multiple individual SWE acquisitions were performed at intervals of 28 ms (34 SWE acquisitions per second), as illustrated in the first row of Fig. 2.
