You could try the Time Series Analyzer plugin. (
http://rsb.info.nih.gov/ij/plugins/time-series.html) It will provide a
GUI to let you select a give ROI size then create ROIs with a single
click. You can resize ROIs by selecting a given ROI and dragging to the
new size or position, then clicking on Update in the ROI manager.

Hope that helps,
Damon
