8. Patient is able to tolerate and comply with scanning procedure
9. Patient is not lactating or pregnant
10. Absence of any psychological, familial, sociological or geographical condition which in the opinion of the Investigator may potentially hamper compliance with the study protocol and follow-up schedule; those conditions should be discussed with the patient before registration in the trial
