The authors apologized that the representative images of analysis of micro-PET imaging (Fig. 5a) appeared incorrectly. The title of the image at 24 h was written as 4 h accidentally. The correct images are presented. The authors declare that these corrections do not change the results or conclusions of this paper.

a Slice images of lung uptake at 4 and 24 h after intrapulmonary injection of 124I-RBD and control [124I]NaI. ①, ②, ③ represent thyroid, lung and stomach of mice, respectively. b The SUV changes of 124I-RBD in lung, stomach, thyroid, kidney, liver, muscle and other organs as well as the control [124I]NaI at different time points. c Ratio of lung SUV to kidney and thyroid at different time points of 124I-RBD and control [124I]NaI. d The SUV of 124I-RBD and control [124I]NaI in vital organs over time. Small animal PET/CT imaging was performed at 1, 4, 24 and 48 h after injection of 124I-RBD in mice, and [124I]NaI increased the imaging time by 0.5 h. e Immunohistochemistry of mouse lung tissue showed the expression of ACE2 in the lungs.
