STD and SSF scores did not differ significantly but were higher in atrial fibrillation than sinus rhythm, a difference not observed with SSF2. No reconstruction method showed significant correlation between heart rate and image quality. The mean systolic phase contributing most to mitral regurgitation diagnosis was 27.7% of the R-R interval. Interobserver agreement was excellent (weighted kappa\u2009=\u20090.956 for A2\/P2; 0.915 for A1\/P1, A2\/P2, and A3\/P3).\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Mitral valve image quality in preoperative cardiac CT for mitral regurgitation improved significantly using SSF2 reconstruction compared to STD and SSF.
