Abstract
Disclosed are methods, systems, and apparatuses for non-invasive detection of colitis in a subject. The methods involve depositing a bodily fluid sample from the subject on an internal reflection element (IRE). A beam of infrared (IR) radiation can then be directed through the IRE under conditions such that the IR radiation interacts with the bodily fluid sample. An absorption spectrum can then be recorded over a range of preselected frequencies to detect peaks that are affected by colitis. In preferred embodiments, the methods and systems involve Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR).
