activecontour() returns a binary image that is the segmentation. Now describe very exactly what you mean by "extract". Does that mean measure with regionprops()? Does that mean cropping to a new, smaller image with imcrop()? "Extract" is not a very specific term. What does it mean to you?

If you want to mask the original image, no matter whether gray scale or RGB, you can use this code:
% Mask the image using bsxfun() function to multiply the mask by each channel individually.
% Works for gray scale as well as RGB Color images.
maskedImage = bsxfun(@times, rgbImage, cast(mask, 'like', rgbImage));
If you have a gray scale image, you can also multiply:
maskedImage = grayImage .* uint8(mask); % or uint16
or you can erase using logical coordinates:
maskedImage = grayImage; % Initialize
maskedImage(~mask) = 0; % Erase outside the mask.
