Scientific communication is undergoing radical changes. The increasingly high prices of scientific journals and other barriers limiting their accessibility are important reasons. On the internet, it is possible to archive and publicize articles with open access, thereby speeding up scientific communication and achievements. Thousands of researchers around the world and many institutions are in favour of open access, while commercial publishers fear losing their profits. The new open-access journals have a low impact factor, which is impending the transformation of the publication system.

Single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT), a technique capable of capturing functional and molecular information, has been widely adopted in theranostics applications across various fields, including cardiology, neurology, and oncology. The spatial resolution of SPECT imaging is relatively poor, which poses a significant limitation, especially the visualization of small lesions. The main factors affecting the limited spatial resolution of SPECT include projection sampling techniques, hardware and software.

Background: Leptomeningeal dissemination (LMD) occurs when tumor cells interact with choroid plexus epithelium (CPE) to gain access to cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in the brain's meninges and ventricular system. This disease is particularly devastating for patients due to our limited understanding and few therapeutic options. The leptomeningeal CSF is a nutritionally deprived microenvironment for tumor cells.
