Conditions

• Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS)
• Parkinson Disease (PD)
• Alzheimer Disease (AD)
• Multiple Sclerosis (MS)

• 16. CT exclusion criteria include any medical device or metallic implant that may interfere with image acquisition or affect image reconstruction (e.g., CT attenuation correction).
• 17. Investigator has reason to believe that the subject may be unable to fulfill the protocol visit schedule or requirements
• 18. Has any finding that, in the view of the Investigator and Medical Monitor, would compromise the subject's safety in the trial
