1. An in-vivo imaging device comprising:

  • a housing, said housing comprising a window coated with a first and second type of rupturable liposomes, each of said rupturable liposomes containing a signaling marker, wherein the first type of rupturable liposomes rupture in the presence of a first target analyte and the second type of rupturable liposomes rupture in the presence of a second target analyte, thereby releasing said signaling markers from said first and second types of rupturable liposomes and resulting in a modification of an optical property of said signaling markers;

    an illumination source located within the housing to illuminate a body lumen through the window;

    an imager to receive light reflected from the body lumen through the window; and

    a transmitter to transmit image data to a receiving system.
