A Correction on
Amide proton transfer-weighted imaging combined with multiple models diffusion-weighted imaging of endometrial cancer: correlations between multi-modal MRI parameters and HIF-1α expression

By Li J, Ma C, Tian S, Liu A, Song Q, Wang N, Song Q, Lin L, Sun P and Wang J (2025). Front. Oncol. 15:1556311. doi: 10.3389/fonc.2025.1556311

There was a mistake in Figure 2 and Figure 3 as published. Both of these figures contained unintended internal duplication. The corrected Figure 2 and Figure 3 appear below.

There was a mistake in the captions of Figure 2 and Figure 3 as published. The captions have been revised to correspond with the updated figures. The corrected captions of Figure 2 and Figure 3 appear below.

Figure 2
MRI and color-coded images of a heart, panels labeled A to L. A, B, C, D show gray scale MRI images with different contrast and detail levels. E, F, G, H, I, J, K display color-enhanced patterns highlighting areas of interest with hues ranging from blue to red. L is a zoomed-in view of tissue structure, possibly a histological section, showing cellular detail.

Figure 2. APTw, DKI and IVIM parameters for an EC patient with low HIF-1α expression. (A) sagittal T2WI, showing a slightly high signal mass in the uterine cavity; (B) sagittal DWI image; (C) sagittal ADC image; (D) APTw fused with T2WI (mean MTRasym value 3.53%); (E–H) ADC, D, D*, and f images. Mean values are 0.600 × 10–3 mm2/sec for ADC, 0.410 × 10–3 mm2/sec for D, 0.280 × 10–2 mm2/sec for D* and 0.57% for f; (I–K) FA, MK, and MD images. Mean values are 0.388 for FA, 0.586 for MK, and 1.147 μm2/ms for MD; (L) Immunohistochemical staining image (×200) showed that HIF-1α expression of the tumor appeared as low expression.

Figure 3
Twelve medical scan images labeled A through L. A to D are grayscale and colored scans displaying different views of internal structures. E to H are colorful heat maps with blue to red color gradients. I to K are similar heat maps in blue and red shades. L shows a tissue section under a microscope, revealing detailed cellular structures. All images appear to focus on different diagnostic imaging techniques.

Figure 3. APTw, DKI and IVIM in EC that had high HIF-1α expression. (A) sagittal T2WI, showing a slightly high signal mass in the uterine cavity; (B) sagittal DWI image; (C) sagittal ADC images; (D) APTw and T2WI fusion images (mean APT value 1.63%) (E–H) ADC, D, D*, and f images. Mean values are 0.950×10–3 mm2/sec for ADC, 0.890 × 10–3 mm2/sec for D, 4.780 × 10–2 mm2/sec for D* and 0.130% for f; (I–K) FA, MK, and MD images. Mean values are 0275 for FA, 0.566 for MK, and 0.966μm2/ms for MD; (L) Immunohistochemical staining image (×200) showed that HIF-1α expression of the tumor appeared as high expression.
