Pending...

Last class, Serge suggested that I extract patches from my b-mode images and sort them from less dense to denser. Looking through my images, I realized that I only care for certain region of the image. In other word, the region of interest in each b-mode image changes because the size of the region containing the breast scan varies in each slice. So this is taking longer than I expected !!

After collecting the patches, I need to sort them. I compute the average reflectivity of each image that allows for automated sorting of the images from less dense to denser. We know that the glandular (more dense) tissues have a higher reflectivity than fatty tissues.
