The Radon Transform and Local Tomography [Paperback]

Over the past decade, the field of image processing has made tremendous advances. One type of image processing that is currently of particular interest is tomographic imaging, a technique for computing the density function of a body, or discontinuity surfaces of this function. Today, tomography is widely used, and has applications in such fields as medicine, engineering, physics, geophysics, and security. The Radon Transform and Local Tomography clearly explains the theoretical, computational, and practical aspects of applied tomography. It includes sufficient background information to make it essentially self-contained for most readers.Introduction

List of NotationsThis book serves as an introduction to the basic properties of the Radon transform. It presents a theory that deals with the study of the singularities of the Radon transform and its applications to the imaging in tomography, in a self-contained and systematic way.Ramm, Alexander G. | Katsevich, Alex I.US? 1996 by Taylor & Francis Group, LLC
