Also, if your ROI's are truly circular you can obtain normalized
integrated intenisties along concentric circles as a function of radius by
using the

Re: Measuring signal intensity from an area enclosed between two ROIs






Hi Avinash,

there is also another possibility to select the area in ROI1 without
that of ROI2:
Take ROI2 (inner circle), Make Inverse, add the result to the Roi
Manager.
Then use AND of the ROI Manager with this Result and ROI1 (outer
circle).
