Synopsis
Deuterium metabolic imaging (DMI) is an emerging technique, which can measure the metabolism in the brain non-invasively after intake of deuterated glucose. In this work, we construct a versatile and dedicated 1H/2H dual-nuclear transceiver for a 9.4T pre-clinical research system. The performance of the transceiver was evaluated by measuring the in vivo 2H spectra data. The metabolites of water, glucose, Glx and lactate after glucose infusion were quantified in healthy and glioma rats using the constructed double-nuclear transceiver.
