We derive an exact inversion formula for the attenuated Radon transform. The formula is closely related to Novikov's inversion formula, but our derivation is completely different. We also give an implementation of the inversion formula very similar to the filtered backprojection algorithm of x-ray tomography and present numerical results.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
