Assessing Brain Metabolism Using 1H MRS With Deuterated Glucose
This study will investigate the use of Hydrogen 1 (1H) magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) with deuterated glucose (2H-glucose) to detect dynamic glucose uptake in the brain.
• Participants must be \>= 18 years old
‣ Cohort 1: Healthy controls
⁃ Cohort 2: Participants with histological proven glioma who have evidence of evaluable disease (with contrast enhancing lesion or non-enhancing lesion \> 4 cc) based on a prior MR scan.
⁃ Cohort 3: Participants with histologically proven glioma who will be undergoing any treatment.
• Participants must not have any significant medical illness that in the investigator's opinion cannot be adequately controlled with appropriate therapy, would compromise the subject's ability to participate in this study or any disease that will obscure toxicity or dangerously impact response to the imaging agent.
• Participants must not be pregnant or breast-feeding. Persons of childbearing potential are required to obtain a negative serum or urine pregnancy test within 14 days of the scan. Effective contraception (men and women) must be used in subjects of childbearing potentials.
• Participants must sign an informed consent indicating that they are aware of the investigational nature of the study
