Who may not be able to join:
- People who have previously been in this study, or who have taken part in another medical research study involving an investigational product or medical device within the last 30 days
- People with a known or suspected history of serious allergic reactions, including severe allergic shock (anaphylaxis), to any part of the imaging agent used in this study (18F-mFBG)
- People with another serious, life-threatening illness where life expectancy is less than one year, or where joining the study could interfere with their medical care
- People with a documented history of ischemic heart disease (such as a prior heart attack or unstable chest pain) or any diagnosis of heart failure
- People with certain serious non-heart-related medical conditions that cause significantly elevated levels of specific hormones in the blood, including a tumour called pheochromocytoma

- People with significantly reduced kidney function, as measured by a blood test showing creatinine levels above a certain threshold
- People taking medications known to interfere with how the imaging agent works, if those medications cannot be safely stopped for 24 hours before the study procedures (confirm with trial site)
- People who have taken part in research involving radiation exposure in the past 12 months, where joining this study would bring their total research-related radiation dose above a set safety limit
