1. A method of determining spatial information about specific molecular contrast agents in a sample comprising the steps of:

  • (a) stimulating, at a plurality of intensity levels, the sample thereby altering an optical property of the molecular contrast agent;

    (b) acquiring a plurality of optical coherence tomography (OCT) images, at least some of the plurality of OCT images being acquired at different stimulus intensities; and

    (c) profiling the molecular contrast agent concentration distribution based on the plurality of OCT images.
