No single echocardiographic method has been recommended for MR quantification thus far. We sought to define the feasibility and accuracy of the mask regions with a convolutional neural network (Mask R-CNN) algorithm in the automatic qualitative evaluation of MR using color Doppler echocardiography images. The authors collected 1132 cases of MR from hospital A and 295 cases of MR from hospital B and divided them into the following four types according to the 2017 American Society of Echocardiography (ASE) guidelines: grade I (mild), grade II (moderate), grade III (moderate), and grade IV (severe). Both grade II and grade III are moderate. After image marking with the LabelMe software, a method using the Mask R-CNN algorithm based on deep learning (DL) was used to evaluate MR severity. We used the data from hospital A to build the artificial intelligence (AI) model and conduct internal verification, and we used the data from hospital B for external verification. According to severity, the accuracy of classification was 0.90, 0.89, and 0.91 for mild, moderate, and severe MR, respectively. The Macro F1 and Micro F1 coefficients were 0.91 and 0.92, respectively. According to grading, the accuracy of classification was 0.90, 0.87, 0.81, and 0.91 for grade I, grade II, grade III, and grade IV, respectively. The Macro F1 and Micro F1 coefficients were 0.89 and 0.89, respectively. Automatic assessment of MR severity is feasible with the Mask R-CNN algorithm and color Doppler electrocardiography images collected in accordance with the 2017 ASE guidelines, and the model demonstrates reasonable performance and provides reliable qualitative results for MR severity.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1155\/2021\/2602688","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,9,14]],"date-time":"2021-09-14T01:52:47Z","timestamp":1631584367000},"page":"1-10","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Automatic Assessment of Mitral Regurgitation Severity Using the Mask R-CNN Algorithm with Color Doppler Echocardiography Images"],"prefix":"10.1155","volume":"2021","author":[{"given":"Qinglu","family":"Zhang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Anhui Provincial Hospital, Cheeloo College of Medicine, Shandong University, Jinan, Shandong 250012, China"},{"name":"Department of Special Examination, Shandong Provincial Third Hospital, Cheeloo College of Medicine, Shandong University, Jinan, Shandong 250031, China"},{"name":"Department of Ultrasound, The First Affiliated Hospital of Wannan Medical College, Wuhu, Anhui 241001, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yuanqin","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, The First Affiliated Hospital of Shandong First Medical University, Jinan, Shandong 250014, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jia","family":"Mi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Special Examination, Shandong Provincial Third Hospital, Cheeloo College of Medicine, Shandong University, Jinan, Shandong 250031, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xing","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Special Examination, Shandong Provincial Third Hospital, Cheeloo College of Medicine, Shandong University, Jinan, Shandong 250031, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xia","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Special Examination, Shandong Provincial Third Hospital, Cheeloo College of Medicine, Shandong University, Jinan, Shandong 250031, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Fenfen","family":"Zhao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Special Examination, Shandong Provincial Third Hospital, Cheeloo College of Medicine, Shandong University, Jinan, Shandong 250031, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Cuihuan","family":"Xie","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Special Examination, Shandong Provincial Third Hospital, Cheeloo College of Medicine, Shandong University, Jinan, Shandong 250031, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Peipei","family":"Cui","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Special Examination, Shandong Provincial Third Hospital, Cheeloo College of Medicine, Shandong University, Jinan, Shandong 250031, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7353-524X","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Qingling","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Anhui Provincial Hospital, Cheeloo College of Medicine, Shandong University, Jinan, Shandong 250012, China"},{"name":"Department of Ultrasound, The First Affiliated Hospital of Wannan Medical College, Wuhu, Anhui 241001, China"},{"name":"Anhui Provincial Hospital, Hefei, Anhui 230001, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5623-3477","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Xiangming","family":"Zhu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Anhui Provincial Hospital, Cheeloo College of Medicine, Shandong University, Jinan, Shandong 250012, China"},{"name":"Department of Ultrasound, The First Affiliated Hospital of Wannan Medical College, Wuhu, Anhui 241001, China"},{"name":"Anhui Provincial Hospital, Hefei, Anhui 230001, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","reference":[{"key":"1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1161\/CIR.0000000000000350"},{"key":"2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1161\/CIR.0000000000000659"},{"issue":"1","key":"3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"7","DOI":"10.1016\/j.athoracsur.2016.05.009","article-title":"The Society of Thoracic Surgeons adult cardiac surgery database: 2016 update on research","volume":"102","author":"V.
