Deuterium metabolic imaging (DMI) has brought about a renewed interest in the application of 2H-labeled substrates to map metabolism in vivo, yet deuterium spectroscopy remains challenging. We have shown that metabolism of deuterium-labeled glucose can be observed in the proton spectrum through a reduction in signal of downstream metabolites in a technique called quantitative exchange label turnover MRS (qMRS). Here, we show that prior knowledge fitting that includes unlabeled as well as deuterium-labeled forms of glutamate can be used to map neural metabolism reliably with qMRS.
