Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
Recently, natural D-glucose was suggested as a potential biodegradable contrast agent. The feasibility of using D-glucose for dynamic perfusion imaging was explored to detect malignant brain tumors based on blood brain barrier breakdown. Our study try to evaluate the feasibility of dynamic glucose enhanced(DGE) magnetic resonance imaging(MRI)in brain tumor, which based on D-glucose weighted chemical exchange saturation transfer (gluceoCEST).

- D-glucose
- description
- During the dynamic glucose scan, a brief hyperglycemic state was established by intravenous infusion of hospital-grade D50 glucose (D50, 25 g of dextrose in 50 mL of water sterile solution), followed by 20 mL of saline solution in 1 arm. The glucose infusion was performed using a power injector at an infusion rate of 0.2 mL/s, corresponding to total infusion times 250 seconds.
