Abstract

The article suggests a new approach what is called a consistency method for the inversion of the spherical Radon transform in 2D with detectors on a line. It is known that there is not an exact inversion formula in 2D. By means of the method was proved that the reconstruction has a local description and found a new iteration formula which give an practical algorithm to recover an unknown function supported completely on one side of a line LL from its spherical means over circles centered on the line LL. Such an inversion is required in problems of thermo- and photo-acoustic tomography.
