Claim One:
1. A method of categorizing heart disease states, the method comprising: receiving a series of cardiac images of a heart, the cardiac images including images of a myocardium and interior fibrous muscles of the heart; segmenting the cardiac images into a myocardium segmentation showing an anatomical shape and a motion of the myocardium; converting the myocardium segmentation to a regional characterization of the anatomical shape and motion of the myocardium; segmenting the cardiac images into an interior fibrous muscles segmentation showing an anatomical shape and a motion of the interior fibrous muscles; converting the interior fibrous muscles segmentation to a regional characterization of the anatomical shape and motion of the interior fibrous muscles; and classifying one or more heart conditions based on the regional characterizations of the anatomical shape and of the motion of the myocardium and the interior fibrous muscles.
