Abstract
PURPOSE: The regional uptake of glucose in rat brain in vivo was measured at high resolution using spin-lock magnetic resonance imaging after infusion of the glucose analogue 2-deoxy-d-glucose (2DG). Previous studies of glucose metabolism have used 13C-labeled 2DG and NMR spectroscopy, 18F-labeled fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) and PET, or chemical exchange saturation transfer (CEST) MRI, all of which have practical limitations. Our goal was to explore the ability of spin-lock sequences to detect specific chemically-exchanging species in vivo and to compare the effects of 2DG in brain tissue on CEST images. METHODS: Numerical simulations of R1p and CEST contrasts for a variety of sample parameters were performed to evaluate the potential specificity of each method for detecting the exchange contributions of 2DG. Experimental measurements were made in tissue phantoms and in rat brain in vivo which demonstrated the ability of spin-lock sequences for detecting 2DG. RESULTS: R1p contrast acquired with appropriate spin-lock sequences can isolate the contribution of exchanging protons in 2DG in vivo and appears to have better sensitivity and more specificity to 2DG-water exchange effects than CEST. CONCLUSION: Spin-lock imaging provides a novel approach to the detection and measurement of glucose uptake in brain in vivo.
