GlucoCEST have been proposed to assess the discrepant concentrations of glucose in vitro. However, it is still a challenge to obtain accurate signals from glucose in vivo. Our preliminary finding demonstrated that the proposed analytical scheme provides an alternative to extract glucose profile and could be more robust to the field inhomogeneity, which may be helpful in further implementation in disease models.
