Abstract
Many biologic processes taking place inside a living organism are unpredictable in time and space, and cannot be known exactly. These mechanisms and interactions among them are better modeled as physiological random processes, the statistics of which are fully described by joint characteristic functionals. The present invention provides methods for the estimation of joint characteristic functionals through imaging of multiple physiological random processes. This technology can be used to study complex diseases, such as tumors and viral infections, by imaging the biological processes involved with disease progression and response to treatment.
