Research description
With the advent of modern computers, mathematical techniques can be used to combine information from x-ray pictures of a three-dimensional object, taken from a large number of different directions, and to reconstruct the internal structure of the object. This leads to mathematical questions of practical importance concerning a class of integral transforms known as x-ray and Radon transforms. Solmon has established uniqueness, nonuniqueness, stability and range characterization results for these integral transforms.
