Erratum to: Surg Today (2014) DOI 10.1007/s00595-014-0965-6

Two inaccurate technical descriptions appeared in above titled article.

In the “Imaging studies” subsection, the dose of intravenously injected 18F-FDG was misdescribed as 370 MBq (10 mCi). Actual dose of 18F-FDG was 185–296 MBq (5–8 mCi). In addition, injection rate of nonionic contrast medium during CT imaging was misdescribed as 2.5 ml/s, and accurate injection rate was 2.0 ml/s.

The authors sincerely apologize for these errors.
