Abstract
The present invention relates to a method for segmenting a digital image, for example to accurately segment cerebral vasculature on MRI-TOF images of a brain. The method first uses a model that imitates the perception of luminance contrasts by a human observer to accentuate a contrast between structures of interest, such as cerebral vasculature, and the image background. Then, the image is thresholded using an adaptive threshold. This enhanced segmentation method can be used to process digital images before launching further machine-implemented characterizations of the structures of interest, such as detecting and characterizing bifurcations of the cerebral vasculature for intra-cranial aneurysm prediction.

Abstract
The present invention relates to a method for radioiodination or radioastatination of a biomolecule such as proteins and antibodies by reacting a biomolecule carrying a hetero(aryl) boronic acid group with a radioiodide or astatide salt, in the presence of a catalyst and a ligand, in a buffer solution, in order to obtain a radioiodo- or astatolabeled biomolecule. The method of the invention is thus a single step method easy to be implemented and efficient for both radioiodination and radioastatination of antibodies.

Abstract
Technics are known to use vessel bifurcations detection to obtain access to the detection of aneurysms. However, such technics suffer from a relatively poor accuracy. Therefore, the Applicants have developed a specific method for locating and characterizing bifurcations of a cerebral vascular tree based on a graph analysis of a three-dimensional skeleton of the tree. This enables to determine more accurately the vessel bifurcations. Such property can be used advantageously for several applications such as predicting the risk of developing an aneurysm, diagnosing an aneurysm, identifying a therapeutic target, identifying a biomarker or screening a compound.
