After reviewing each patient's neurologic presentation based on his or her initial National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) and neurologic evaluation, all thin (1 mm) and thick (5 mm) NCCT scans were reviewed for the HAS. Analysis of sensitivity and specificity was conducted to determine the utility of the HAS sign as a reliable marker for LVO in acute ischemic stroke patients.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Of the 99 LVO stroke patients, 66 HASs were identified on NCCT. Of the 102 non\u2010LVO patients, 18 false\u2010positive HASs were identified. The sensitivity and specificity of the HAS, respectively, was 67% and 82%. By anatomic distribution, the sensitivity of identifying basilar artery occlusions was 75%, and the sensitivity of identifying middle cerebral artery (MCA) M1 branch occlusions was 76%. Among patients with an NIHSS &gt; 10, the sensitivity was 79%; whereas sensitivity was 50% if NIHSS was \u2264 10.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>The HAS on thin\u2010slice NCCT has a reasonably high sensitivity and specificity for identifying LVO in acute ischemic stroke patients presenting with an NIHSS &gt;
