How do I save a variable in a for loop by using the same name but changing the number.

Hello,

As you can see from my code below, I am getting an image of 5 cells and placing a bounding box around each one. After producing the bounding box, I simply wanted to crop each separate cell into its own image separate image labeled 'Crop_1', 'Crop_2', etc. In order to do that I need to save the variable within each loop in order for it to not be overwritten by the next loop. Currently, my code will only crop the image of the last loop run.

So in other words, how do I write code within a loop to save the output of the loop as a variable and just simply making the variable name Crop_(i) with i representing the specific number cell.

Thank you in advanced

for i = 1:length(stats)

      Cell_i = stats(i).BoundingBox;
      rectangle('Position', [Cell_i(1),Cell_i(2),Cell_i(3),...
          Cell_i(4)],'EdgeColor',cstring(mod(i,5)+1),'LineWidth',2);
      disp(['Cell ', num2str(i), ' : ',num2str(stats(i).Area)]);

end

crop_img = imcrop(final_img,Cell_i);
imshow(crop_img)
imwrite(crop_img,'cell1.tif')
