Abstract
PURPOSE: Segmenting bone surfaces in ultrasound (US) is a fundamental step in US-based computer-assisted orthopaedic surgeries. Neural network-based segmentation techniques are a natural choice for this, given promising results in related tasks. However, to gain widespread use, we must be able to know how much to trust segmentation networks during clinical deployment when ground-truth data is unavailable.
