A natural form of sugar could offer a new, noninvasive way to precisely image tumors and potentially see whether cancer medication is effective. To aid in this matter, UC San Francisco in collaboration with GE Healthcare has created a new imaging technology. The technology uses a compound called pyruvate, which is created when glucose breaks down in the body and which normally supplies energy to cells.

To aid in this matter, UC San Francisco in collaboration with GE Healthcare has created a new imaging technology. The technology uses a compound called pyruvate, which is created when glucose breaks down in the body and which normally supplies energy to cells.
