In some embodiments, a first region of a first image of a heart is located by clustering. The first region depicts a chamber of the heart. The chamber has a chamber shape. A boundary of the first region is determined by contour tracing a retaining the traced contour overlapping the first region. A predetermined shape is compared to the boundary. The predetermined shape had been determined without reference to the first image. A first plurality of parameters is determined that, when applied to the predetermined shape, conforms the predetermined shape to the boundary and minimizes at least one error between the predetermined shape and the boundary. An indication of normality or abnormality is determine from the first plurality of parameters.
