Abstract

We derive explicit formulae 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 formulae are important for problems of thermo- and photo-acoustic tomography. A closed-form inversion formula of a filtration-backprojection type is found for the case when the centres of the integration spheres lie on a sphere in surrounding the support of the unknown function.
