To the Editor:

The authors regret that there were errors in the text. This notice corrects the numbers of patients who underwent radiological examinations during the study period. We had assessed the patient number by adding up the number by each modality (e.g., CT, X-ray, MR); in doing so, we had inadvertently failed to remove duplicates across the modalities.

Content of correction:

Before:

“A total of 512,322 patients underwent 1,360,182 radiology examinations from the year 2019 to June 2020. They were 241,602 men (mean age ± standard deviation, 54.1 ± 22.0 years) and 270,720 women (54.8 ± 20.3 years). There were 36,146 children of age under 13 (5.6 ± 4.0 years), and 8,276 adolescents of age between 13 and 18 years old (15.5 ± 1.5 years).”

After:

“A total of 297,852 patients underwent 1,360,182 radiology examinations from the year 2019 to June 2020.
