These m-files let you process interactively and multiply on image ROIs.

ROI(img, nroi)
function ROI(img, nroi)

% 1) Goal: Draw & process multiple ROIs interactively within an image.
%
% 2) Usage: ROI(img, nroi), where 'img' is your image, and 'nroi' is a
% total number to ROIs to be processed.  The opened image will be processed
% BY DEFAULT.  A prefered procedure is as follows: a) img = imread(...); b)
% imh = imshow(img) and c) ROI(img, nroi). 
% Alternatively, if there is no image in your WorkSpace, you MUST use
% square brackets to occupy the argument space for img, such as, ROI([],5),
% will let you open a new image and process with 5 ROIs.
%
% 3) Since getline('closed') is used to get the polygon interactively,
% please click left mouse button to select, and right button to finish up a
% ROI (Backspace to delete the lastest click). You may repeat this process
% till all ROIs were processed.  For more infos, please may see help
% getline. 
%
% 4) Results: ROI statistics are displayed on screen or output to a text
% file (optional).
%
% 5) The colors of line/text label are generated by 'jet' colormap,
% therefore, certain color may be too close to tell, especially when you
% select too many ROIs. In that case, you may need to edit the color after
% ROI processing. For more infos, please see help jet. 
%
% 6) For your convenience, you may use the following m-scripts to clear
% your enviroments: 'dt', 'dl' and 'df' to delete all text characters,
% lines and figures, respectively. 
%
% 7) This package includes 5 m-files: 'ROI.m', 'MultiROI', 'df.m', 'dl.m' and 'dt.m'.
%    MultiROI is similar to ROI. The only difference is that it uses spline
%    interprate to smooth the ROI edge.
