Reconstructive Tomography: An Inverse Problem.

Abstract

The process of recovering the three-dimensional structure of an object by reconstructing successive cross sections orthogonal to a common axis is known as reconstructive tomography. Each cross section of the object is essentially a function f defined on a two-dimensional domain C. This unknown function may be specified using as data integrals of f along straight lines traversing C. Data of this sort represent cumulative measures of f along certain paths rather than actual values of f at specific points.
