Simple Explanation

This article is an author correction regarding a previously published Data Descriptor. The correction pertains to Figure 16 in the original article, specifically addressing an error in the figure's legend. The legend incorrectly stated that the figure depicted the results of the multi-subject study for the MT protocol and that the mean MTR was computed.

Key Findings

  • 1
    The original figure legend incorrectly described the data presented in Figure 16.
  • 2
    The corrected legend clarifies that the figure displays results from the multi-subject study using the DWI scan.
  • 3
    The corrected legend also specifies that the FA (fractional anisotropy) was computed, not the mean MTR.

Research Summary

This is an author correction to a previously published Data Descriptor regarding open-access quantitative MRI data of the spinal cord. The correction addresses an error in the legend of Figure 16, which incorrectly described the data as relating to the MT protocol and the computation of mean MTR. The corrected legend clarifies that the figure depicts results from the DWI scan and the computation of FA.

Practical Implications

Data Accuracy

Ensures the accuracy of figure legends in scientific publications, preventing misinterpretation of data.

Reproducibility

Aids in the reproducibility of the study by providing correct information about the data and methods used.

Data Integrity

Maintains the integrity of the published data by correcting errors and ensuring consistency between the figure and its description.

Study Limitations

  • 1
    Limited to a single figure legend correction
  • 2
    Does not address other potential errors
  • 3
    Impact on overall study interpretation is unclear
