After publication of this supplement article [1], it was brought to our attention that the first and correspondence authors’ affiliation information was incorrectly spelt. The original spelling was written as ‘Sothern’. However, the correct spelling should be ‘Southern’.

The correct affiliation of the first and correspondence authors is ‘Guangdong Provincial Key Laboratory of Medical Image Processing, School of Biomedical Engineering, Southern Medical University, Guangzhou, China’.
