Abstract
Cancer metabolism has emerged as a pivotal area of research recently. The ability to visualize and comprehend the metabolic processes of cancer holds immense clinical value, particularly in the diagnosis of malignant tumors and the assessment of treatment responses. Deuterium Metabolic Imaging (DMI), as a robust, simple, and versatile MR spectroscopic imaging tool, demonstrates promise in tumor diagnosis and treatment efficacy assessment. This review explored the latest developments and applications of DMI in oncology across various tumor metabolic axes, with a specific emphasis on its potential for clinical translation. DMI offers invaluable insights into tumor biology, treatment responses, and prognostic outcomes. Notably, DMI can identify early responses to immunotherapy, a prominent area of current research interest. In conclusion, DMI harbors the potential to evolve into a convenient and efficient imaging technique in clinical practice, thereby advancing precision medicine and improving the diagnosis and evaluation of cancer treatments.
