Hi Luis,
I have a set of T2 weighted brain MRI images. I would like to separate
background from tissue. In some cases, there are clearly two peaks in the
histogram whereas in other cases, I cannot clearly distinguish two peaks
[the histogram looks quite uniform], however, when I examine the image, the
tissue is quite well separated from the background. I was wondering if you
could recommend any steps to actually make the histogram more "peaky" so
that I could use some histogram parsing techniques to separate background
from tissue.

Thanks
Radhika
