In need of help with a Fiji segmentation project!

Bbnation1234
Hi everyone! I am new to Fiji and this is my first time using a photo-editing program aside from some basic Photoshop. I just recently joined a research group, and I wont go into exact details of what it entails but I am working on a project with MLO mammogram images on Fiji. The photos show a black background, the actual breast material, and a section of the pectoral muscle. I need to find a method to accurately "crop" or section the breast from the background and the pectoral muscle without manually having to go in and use the drawing tool to section it off. (Like making a mask for it and cropping the other sections out so we are only left with the important breast part.) I also need this method to work when applied to a large file of different mammogram images.

So far I have been playing around with the Trainable Weka Segmentation plugin, and I haven't quite gotten the image segmented like I need to. If anyone could offer any kind of advice or help me in any way, it would be greatly appreciated! I am sorry for any incorrect terminology, but like I said previously, I am new to all this!

Please dont hesitate to ask for any clarification if its needed! Thanks so much for taking the time to read my post!
