Abstract
For a given function f defined in the plane, which may represent, for instance, the attenuation-coefficient function in a cross section of a sample, the fundamental question of image reconstruction calls on us to consider the value of the integral of f along a typical line \(\,\ell_{t,\,\theta }\). For each pair of values of t and \(\,\theta\), we will integrate f along a different line.
