The mathematical formalism necessary for the diagramatic evaluation of quantum corrections to a conformally invariant field theory for a self-interacting scalar field on a curved manifold with boundary is considered. The evaluation of quantum corrections to the effective action past one-loop necessitates diagramatic techniques. Diagramatic evaluations and higher loop-order renormalisation can be best accomplished on a Riemannian manifold of constant curvature accommodating a boundary of constant extrinsic curvature. In such a context the stated evaluations can be accomplished through a consistent interpretation of the Feynman rules within the spherical formulation of the theory for which the method of images allows. To this effect, the mathematical consequences of such an interpretation are analyzed and the spherical formulation of the Feynman rules on the bounded manifold is, as a result, developed.
