Abstract: Let $Omega$ be a bounded convex domain in $mathbb{R}^n$ ($nge2$). In this work, we prove that if there exists an integrable function $f$ such that it's Radon transform over $(n-1)$-dimensional hyperplanes intersecting the domain $Omega$ is a strictly positive function of distance to the nearest parallel supporting hyperplane to $Omega$, then $Omega$ is a ball and the function $f$ is a unique radial function about the centre of $Omega$.
