1. A method of identifying a region of interest in tissue, the method comprising:

  • administering an exogenous agent to the tissue, the exogenous agent being capable of forming a by-product in the tissue;

    analyzing a sample based on the tissue using a high sensitivity platform comprising a mass spectrometer;

    determining a distribution, optionally quantitative, of the by-product of the exogenous agent within the tissue based on the analysis of the sample; and

    identifying the region of interest within the tissue based on the determined distribution of the by-product of the exogenous agent relative to tissue surrounding the region of interest.
