  • Patent number: 12220253
    Abstract: A method for detecting a metabolism of glucose by a patient. The method includes producing a magnetic field that acts upon the patient, then acquiring magnetic resonance data of deuterated water within the patient, where deuterated glucose has been administered to the patient, where the deuterated water is produced during the metabolism of the deuterated glucose by the patient, and where the magnetic resonance data is acquired at a resonant frequency of deuterium. The method further includes analyzing the magnetic resonance data acquired at the resonant frequency of deuterium, non-spectrally resolved, to generate a processed dataset. The method further includes constructing an image based on the processed dataset, where the metabolism of the glucose by the patient is detected via the constructed image.
