We derive explicit formulas for the reconstruction of a function from its integrals over a family of spheres, or for the inversion of the spherical mean Radon transform. Such formulas are important for problems of thermo- and photo-…
The spherical means Radon transform $\mathcal{M}f(x,r)$ is defined by the integral of a function $f$ in $\mathbb{R}^{n}$ over the sphere $S(x,r)$ of radius $r$ centered at a $x$, normalized by the area of the sphere. The problem of…
