NCIt definition : A radioconjugate composed of glucose that is labeled at carbon position 1 and 2 with
carbon C13, with potential metabolic imaging and isotope tracing purposes. Upon administration
of 1,2-carbon C 13-labeled glucose, the glucose is taken up and metabolized by tumors
and the 13C-containing metabolites can be imaged by 13C nuclear magnetic resonance
(NMR) spectroscopy. Since tumor cells take up and metabolize glucose in higher amounts
and through different pathways than normal cells, this agent may help assess metabolic
tumor pathways.;
