Preferred Label : Deuterated Glucose;
NCIt synonyms : Deuterium-labeled glucose; 2H-labeled glucose;
NCIt definition : A deuterium metabolic imaging (DMI) agent composed of glucose labeled with the non-radioactive
deuterium (2H, D) isotope, with potential metabolic imaging activity upon magnetic
resonance spectroscopy. Upon administration of deuterated glucose, the glucose is
metabolized, and both the deuterium-labeled glucose and the deuterium-containing metabolites
can be imaged by magnetic resonance spectroscopy. Since some tumor cells metabolize
glucose faster and through different pathways than normal cells, this agent may help
assess metabolic tumor pathways, tumor burden and response to treatment.;
