This article [J. Biomed. Opt. 18, 061226 (2013)] was originally published online on 6 February 2013 with an error in the article’s title. The third word should be “nanorods’” instead of “nanoroad.” The corrected title appears above.

In addition, an error appears in Fig. 6(b). The blue line in the original figure (representing the wavelength-dependent reduced scattering coefficients of a phantom with GNRs) presented incorrect values. The corrected figure is reprinted here. The figure caption is not changed. We thank Prof. Bruce Tromberg and Dr. Rolf Saager, from the University of California, Irvine, for their attention.

This paper was corrected online on 12 July 2013.
