Computed tomography (CT) allows reproducible assessment of left ventricular (LV) function, left ventricular outflow tract area (LVOT ) and aortic valve area (AVA). We evaluated the influence of image reconstruction parameters on these measurements. We analyzed 45 contrast-enhanced, retrospectively ECG-gated CT datasets acquired on a third-generation dual source system. A standard filtered-back-projection data set (20 cardiac phases (5% steps, 0-95%), 0.6-mm-slice thickness, 512 × 512 matrix) and eight reconstructions with modified s
