Abstract

PURPOSE: Carpentier's functional classification is a guide to explain the types of mitral valve regurgitation based on morphological features. There are four types of pathological morphologies, regardless of the presence or absence of mitral regurgitation: Type I, normal; Type II, mitral valve prolapse; Type IIIa, mitral valve stenosis; and Type IIIb, restricted mitral leaflet motion. The aim of this study was to automatically classify mitral valves using echocardiographic images.
