A computerized method of classifying at least one suspicious region of interest (ROI) in an ultrasonic attenuation image mapping tissue of a patient. The method comprises receiving an US image of an tissue, identifying a suspicious region of interest (ROI) in the US image, generating an attenuation map of the suspicious ROI, measuring, according to an analysis of the attenuation map, at least one attenuation feature of at least one of the suspicious ROI and at least one sub region in the suspicious ROI, and classifying the suspicious ROI according to the at least one attenuation feature.
