Determining a therapy efficacy

Abstract

The present disclosure relates to determining an efficacy of a therapeutic agent. A method for determining an efficacy of a therapeutic agent for a target disease can include measuring a molecular structure of a biological tissue of an animal at a first time and at a second time using a non-invasive biological tissue characterization technique. The method can further include observing a change of the molecular structure of the biological tissue between the first time and the second time, and determining the efficacy of the therapeutic agent based on the observed change in the molecular structure of the biological tissue. Before the first time, or between the first time and the second time, the animal received the therapeutic agent.
