N2 - This paper presents a comprehensive mathematical framework for analyzing medical images in terms of interacting random processes that evolve in time. The key mathematical concept is the characteristic functional, which encapsulates all possible statistical properties of a random process, yet can often be expressed analytically. It is shown how molecular images can be used to tailor the analytic expressions to a particular patient and to relate the results to the predicted outcome of therapy.
