Abstract

Correction for ‘Ultra-efficient, widely tunable gold nanoparticles-based fiducial markers for X-ray imaging’ by Gabriele Maiorano, et al., Nanoscale, 2016, DOI: 10.1039/c6nr07021c.


The authors would like to correct the acknowledgement given in the section relating to the animal implantation and in vivo CT acquisition. The sentence “These experiments were performed in compliance with the relevant laws and institutional guidelines; the study was approved by the ethical committee of the Center of Preclinical Imaging – University of Torino” should have been given as “These experiments were performed in compliance with the relevant laws and institutional guidelines; the study was approved by the Italian Ministry of Health”.

The Royal Society of Chemistry apologises for these errors and any consequent inconvenience to authors and readers.
