Analysis of PDEs 2015-01-19 v3

Abstract

This paper is devoted to a Radon-type transform arising in a version of Photoacoustic Tomography that uses integrating circular detectors. We show that the transform can be decomposed into the spherical Radon transform and the Funk-Minkowski transform. An inversion formula and a range description are obtained by combining existing inversion for- mulas and range descriptions for the spherical Radon transform and the Funk-Minkowski transform. Numerical simulations are performed to demonstrate our proposed algorithm.
