What is it about?
Accurate identification of the gallbladder contour on ultrasound images is a first step towards reporting quantitative measures of gallbladder function. We present a semi-automatic method for segmentation of gallbladder on ultrasound images.

Why is it important?
Qualitative results on real-world data show that the proposed approach is capable of segmenting both longitudinal and transverse images of the gallbladder. Quantitative analysis of segmentation accuracy demonstrates a target overlap of 0.93 ± 0.02 and dice coefficient of 0.94 ± 0.01 with the ground truth.
