I have an ultrasound image of two cysts and I would like to extract information of just the two cysts from the image. Using BW is okay. 
I used the code below:
%% Read Image
RGB = imread('US11.jpg');
%% Thresholding the Image
I = rgb2gray(RGB);
bw = imbinarize(I);
imshow(bw)
%%  Removing the Noise
% remove all object containing fewer than 30 pixels
bw = bwareaopen(bw,350);
% fill a gap in the image
se = strel('disk',0.1);
bw = imclose(bw,se);
%% Finding the Boundaries
[B,L] = bwboundaries(bw,'noholes');
% Display the label matrix and draw each boundary
imshow(label2rgb(L, @jet, [.5 .5 .5]))
hold on
for k = 1:length(B)
  boundary = B{k};
  plot(boundary(:,2), boundary(:,1), 'w', 'LineWidth', 2)
end
%% Determine which Objects are Round
stats = regionprops(L,'Area','Centroid');
threshold = 0.95;
% loop over the boundaries
for k = 1:length(B)
  % obtain (X,Y) boundary coordinates corresponding to label 'k'
  boundary = B{k};
  % compute a simple estimate of the object's perimeter
  delta_sq = diff(boundary).^2;    
  perimeter = sum(sqrt(sum(delta_sq,2)));
  % obtain the area calculation corresponding to label 'k'
  area = stats(k).Area;
  % compute the roundness metric
  metric = 4*pi*area/perimeter^2;
  % display the results
  metric_string = sprintf('%2.2f',metric);
  % mark objects above the threshold with a black circle
  if metric > threshold
    centroid = stats(k).Centroid;
    plot(centroid(1),centroid(2),'ko');
  end
I have attached the image along with this this.
It will be helpful if someone could teach me.
