You can set the threshold at your chosen value and check the "Limit to threshold" box in Set Measurements. Then Analyze - Measure.

Subject: percentile calculation, ImageJ or otherwise?

Dear all,

I have a stack of images (16bit) for which I need
some measurement of the average signal intensity,
to describe signal loss with increasing depth.
Since the particular signal is sort of repetitive
(Collagen matrix), I thought of just going for
the 5-percentile (5% of all pixels in an image
plane have the grayvalue X or higher).

ImageJ readily calculates the median
(50-percentile) but I didn't find an option for
other percentiles in the program or on the
plug-ins web page. It is probably easy to program
it if one knows how and I am sure others have
done it before but programming isn't one of my capabilities.

Other suggestions to solve this problems also would be welcome

Best regards

Steffen
