Title
A Mollification Approach for Inverting the Spherical Mean Radon Transform.
Abstract
The filtered backprojection algorithm is still one of the most important reconstruction methods in computed tomography. It is based on explicit formulas for recovering mollified versions of the original unknown function. In this paper, we derive such formulas for the spherical mean Radon transform with centers restricted to the boundary of a ball. In two spatial dimensions we present an efficient implementation strategy that leads to a stable reconstruction algorithm of filtered backprojection type.
