Abstract: Moment methods to reconstruct images from their Radon transforms are both natural and useful. They can be used to suppress noise or other spurious effects and can lead to highly efficient reconstructions from relatively few projections. We establish a modified Radon transform (MRT) via convolution with a mollifier and obtain its inversion formula. The relationship of the moments of the Radon transform and the moments of its modified Radon transform is derived and MRT data is used to provide a uniform approximation to the original density function. The reconstruction algorithm is implemented, and a simple density function is reconstructed from moments of its modified Radon transform. Numerical convergence of this reconstruction is shown to agree with the derived theoretical results.

Review text

The paper basically is a study of the Radon transform and the related theory. A modified version of the Radon transform is defined by the authors using the convolution theory, various properties related to it are derived and further its inversion formula is given. Moreover, a connection is shown between the moments of the Radon and the modified Radon transform. Reconstruction or recovery of the input function from the moments of the modified Radon transform is also shown, which is a useful aspect of the paper. Further, to demonstrate the convergence of the reconstruction algorithm based on the moments of the modified Radon transform a flow chart is given that elaborates the algorithm and some numerical examples related to it. The rate of convergence is given which describes the efficiency of the algorithm. The paper is written in an organized manner. The proofs of theorems and various results are correct. A numerical example to demonstrate the convergence is given and a graphical representation of the solution is shown which is well represented. It opens an area of research like generalization of this modified Radon transform and various applications related to it.
