| Intermethod (standard mask) | 0.549 k (M) 24/42 Cases | 0.449 k (M) 20/42 Cases | 0.449 k (M) 20/42 Cases | 0.482 k (M) |
| Intermethod (standard plus mark) | 0.473 k (M) 21/42 Cases | 0.499 k (M) 22/42 Cases | 0.398 k (F) 18/42 Cases | 0.467 k (M) |
| Intermethod (cingulate only mask) | 0.574 k (M) 25/42 Cases | 0.674 k (S) 29/42 Cases | 0.574 k (M) 25/42 Cases | 0.607 k (S) |
| Intermethod (standard weighted maska) | 0.699 k (S) 30/42 Cases | 0.649 k (S) 28/42 Cases | 0.624 k (S) 27/42 Cases | 0.657 k (S) |
F, Fair agreement; M, moderate agreement; S, Substantial agreement; AP, Almost perfect agreement.
The standard weighted mask was constructed to conduct supplementary analyses.
