Deuterium Metabolic Imaging—Rediscovery of a Spectroscopic Tool

Abstract: The growing demand for metabolism-specific imaging techniques has rekindled interest in Deuterium (2H) Metabolic Imaging (DMI), a robust method based on administration of a substrate (glucose, acetate, fumarate, etc.) labeled with the stable isotope of hydrogen and the observation of its metabolic fate in three-dimensions. This technique allows the investigation of multiple metabolic processes in both healthy and diseased states. Despite its low natural abundance, the short relaxation time of deuterium allows … Show more

“…Unfortunately, this method has been technically challenging to implement in clinical settings. Deuterium-labeled isotopes offer an alternative for metabolic imaging in vivo 13,14 . For example, deuterium metabolic imaging (DMI) was used to map differential metabolism of glucose within aggressive glioblastoma multiforme lesions compared to surrounding brain parenchyma 15 .…”

“…[4][5][6][7][8] However, information regarding downstream metabolic processes, which is of fundamental importance for tumor detection and evaluation of therapeutic treatment, cannot be obtained by FDG-PET. Hyperpolarized 13 C MRI shows the capability of interrogating tumor metabolism, but is limited to molecules with long T 1 relaxation times on the 13 C nuclei. 9,10 Biologically important molecules, such as fructose and glucose, which are the main sources of energy in HCC, 11 have short 13 C T 1 lifetimes and thus remain challenging for applications in a clinical setting.…”

“…This emerging technique has great potential in characterizing the energy metabolism in the brain, 6 liver, 11 and heart, 12 quantifying the glycolytic flux 13 or choline uptake, 14 and monitoring the tumor cell death in cancerous tissues 15 . Unlike PET, 2 H‐MRSI can provide information about the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle and glycolytic metabolism information in addition to glucose uptake 16 . Besides, 2 H‐MRS uses stable nonradioactive isotopes, allowing signal detection over a more flexible time window, and 2 H signal detected from the water in natural abundance could be used as an internal reference to further quantify the concentration of other 2 H‐labeled metabolites.…”
