  Recent research on formal verification for Collective Adaptive Systems (CAS)
pushed advancements in spatial and spatio-temporal model checking, and as a
side result provided novel image analysis methodologies, rooted in logical
methods for topological spaces. Medical Imaging (MI) is a field where such
technologies show potential for ground-breaking innovation. In this position
paper, we present a preliminary investigation centred on applications of
spatial model checking to MI. The focus is shifted from pure logics to a
mixture of logical, statistical and algorithmic approaches, driven by the
logical nature intrinsic to the specification of the properties of interest in
the field. As a result, novel operators are introduced, that could as well be
brought back to the setting of CAS.
