% This function calculates the following performance evaluation metrics for
% a selected region of a log-compressed ultrasound image:
% -3 dB mainlobe width (MLW3dB)
% Full width at half maxiumum (FWHM) = -6 dB mainlobe width
% Full width at half dynamic_range (FWHDR)
% Peak sidelobe level (PSL)
% Doubled mainlobe level (DML)
% FWHDR and DML are explained in the publication above.
