Table 1.

Components of the MPTS: The first component of the score is related to morphology and comes from the shape of the parametric maps. The second and third components are physiological defined by the WiP and WoP. The ranges for the WiP and WoP were determined empirically from previous work. The MPTS is the sum score of the three components.
