      The author presents the solution to the Busemann-Petty problem in \(\mathbb R^4.\) One of the key ideas in the proof, previously employed by \textit{R. J. Gardner} [Ann. Math., II. Ser. 140, No. 2, 435-447 (1994; Zbl 0826.52010)], is the use of cylindrical coordinates in computing the inverse spherical Radon transform.
