CTA images were available for all 75 patients (34 females; mean age\u2009\u00b1\u2009SD, 72\u2009\u00b1\u200914 years; National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale 10; median 8\u201314; and Alberta Stroke Program Early CT mean 9.7). The agreement between the neuroradiologist and neurologists in evaluation of intracranial artery occlusion was as follows: occlusion of the middle cerebral artery segment M1: observer agreement 77%, kappa (\u03ba)\u2009=\u20090.61 and middle cerebral artery M2: observer agreement 77%, \u03ba 0.48; internal carotid artery: observer agreement 92%, \u03ba 0.84; T occlusion: observer agreement 90.0%, \u03ba 0.33; posterior cerebral artery segments P1 and P2: observer agreement 98%, \u03ba 0.97; basilar artery: observer agreement 96%, \u03ba 0.92; and vertebral artery segment V4: observer agreement 88%, \u03ba 0.48.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Interrater agreement of CTA evaluation of occlusion between the neurologists and the neuroradiologist was very strong.
